This is a small, rectangular image produced in black and white.

It focuses on looking up at
old architecture to convey the meaning whereby the audience are presented with a new
perspective/viewpoint of old architecture. I used photoshop to edit this image so that it is
black and white. I also adjusted the brightness and contrast to make the shadows and
highlights pop but I think I may have made this page a little too dark. It already uses quite a
close up shot looking up at the building which invites intimacy but the dark colours and
tones also can be feel quite isolating and maybe make the viewer feel trapped which sent so
good. I wanted to make these images feel spacious as this is what I loved about shoot one
and two which focused on looking up at modern architecture but I feel like with old
architecture, the images are quite confining. I used the compositional technique, rule of
thirds, to position the buildings central pillar in the centre third of the image as this makes it
feel balanced and this is appealing for the viewer. The pillars also use the compositional
technique, leading lines, as they run from the bottom of the frame to the top. This leads to
audiences eyes from the bottom of the photograph to the top giving them a full picture at
first glance which could leave them intrigued to know more.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in black and white. This image feels a lot more
spacious than any others in this shoot and the previous shoot because there is a lot more
white sky included in the frame than previously. I still used a looking up perspective/viewpoint
which is obvious but I also urned my camera a bit so that the building only occupied the
space on one side of the frame. I quite like how spacious this feels as I think spaciousness
allows the audience to feel able to create their own interpretations of the image. I used a fast
shutter speed and low aperture to make sure the image came out crisp clear. I did this so
that the architecture could be seen very clearly and my message could be conveyed and
understood by the viewer. I wanted to create extreme contrast within the image so that the
white sky really stands out against the building and makes the image feel open and
spacious. I also like how the windows of the building are also white because the sky is
reflecting on them. This ties in the white contrasting colour elsewhere in the image, not just
on the left hand side. This in turn, makes it feel balanced and this is appealing to the eye. I
didn’t use any compositional techniques in this image because I wanted to focus on the
viewpoint at hand instead. I like the viewpoint but I think I should include a little less of the
sky if I do it again because it feels a bit too empty. If the sky wasn’t white and had a bit of
colour and clouds in it, I don’t think I would feel this way.
 This is a small, rectangular image produced in black and white. It is very similar to the
previous image because it focuses on looking up at the same part of the building. However,
in this image I got down lower and pinned my camera up higher to get more of the
architecture in the frame. I also zoomed my lens out a bit to do this. Because of these things,
a lamppost is also seen within the frame. I think this is quite interesting because the
lamppost/street light is old looking which emphasises the fact that the building is old
architecture and surrounded by other objects of old nature. Despite the lamppost being in
the frame, I still think that this image feels very spacious because I left the left hand side of
the frame empty and therefore only the white sky is visible in this area. I used a fast shutter
speed and low aperture to take this photograph so that the colours where representative of
real life and when I converted it to black and white the tones and contrasts were pretty
accurate already. I think that the shadows and highlights within this image are really nice as it
makes the building feel 3D which is good because it helps convey the meaning. One thing
that is not so good about this image is that there is a glare at the top of the frame which I’m
assuming was a smudge on the camera. This is a distraction for the audience as it takes
away their attention from the image which isn’t a good thing because it means they will find it
more difficult to interpret the image and reach conclusions about the meaning and their
perspectives of it.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in black and white. This image focuses on
looking up at the front of a building in Reading that displays old architecture very well. I used
the compositional technique, the rule of thirds, to construct this image so that the middle
window of the building was central to the frame. These windows stand out because the
white sky has reflected off of them and they therefore are on of the brightest elements in the
photograph. This image was aimed to convey the same meaning as previously in this shoot,
which was to give the audience a new perspective/viewpoint of old architecture that
surrounds us on a daily basis. I think I conveyed this meaning very well in this photograph
because it is very clear that I was looking up at this particular building. This image feels less
spacious than the previous two images in this shoot because the building takes up most of
the frame and leaves less space for the sky to poke through. This is a limitation of this
photograph because I want to make my images feel spacious as confined images have the
possibility to make the viewer feel trapped/isolated which is unhelpful when it comes to the
viewer understanding the image and interpreting it for themselves. I think the black and white
filter works really well with the old architecture however it does feel quite dark and isolated
again which isn’t very good. I therefore think that I prefer exploring modern architecture and
how colour helps an image feel spacious.
