This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour.

The subject matter contains the blade

in Reading which is a building that displays modern architecture in the town. I took the same
approach to look up at this building to give my audience a new outlook on modern
architecture that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. I hope to make my audience absorb
and appreciate the natural beauty of this man made structure. Although I am looking up at
this skyscraper, it isn’t too obvious in this image and I did this to give the audience an idea as
to how it looks from a more natural viewpoint/perspective so they can compare it to some of
the other images in this shoot which look up a lot. I really like how the blue sky compliments
the colours within the structure of this building as the window have a reflective nature to
them allowing the blue colour to bounce off the windows. The bright blue coloured sky
makes the image feel bright and therefore open and spacious which is appropriate for this
project as I chose the stimuli spatial with the aim to make architecture feel spacious. This
image could, however, feel a lot more spacious in my opinion. I have framed this image so
that the building takes up most of the frame only with a small gap on the left hand side of it
which makes the image feel a bit busy and less spacious. There was also a tree above my
camera when I took the photograph which is why you can see some branches at the top fo
the frame. I don’t really like how this is here because it makes it feel a bit confining which
wasn’t my aim for this shoot, however, it isn’t in any of the other images in this shoot
because I noticed I didn’t like it and made sure to not include it anymore.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image is a lot better than the
previous one because it conveys my meaning better which is to look up and give my viewers
a new perspective of modern architecture in a spacious way. I think this image feel a lot more
spacious than the previous one because it looks up more and for some reason this
perspective helps to make the image feel very open which I like. I used a fast shutter speed
and low aperture to achieve this crisp clear outline of my building which helps the quinces
focus to be elsewhere eg. the spaciousness, rather than on the blurriness that could have
shown up if I did use these technical camera elements properly. Once again, I really like the
blue sky and how it nicely reflects off the building to make the image feel open and spacious.
Another thing I really like about this image is how the clouds reflect off the windows also,
these white clouds brighten up the photograph even more allowing for the audience to have
an open mind and understand the intentions behind the images unusual viewpoint/
perspective. In this image, you can see the top of the building near the top of the frame
which is nice because it gives the audience an indication s to where the building starts and
ends, allowing for them to understand the enormity and scale of this building. The
photograph also uses leading lines through the buildings panels which leads the viewers
eyes through the whole image helping them to better engage with the subject matter and
reach conclusions for themselves.
 This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image focuses on looking up at
the blade in Reading too. This photograph takes a more spacious approach than previously
in this shoot which is great because it reflects my meaning very nicely. My meaning is to give
the viewer a new perspective/viewpoint of modern architecture by looking up at it in a
spacious way. I used a slightly different framing technique in this image to create some
variation and I think it works very well to make the image feel open and spacious. The
building starts in the bottom left corner of the frame and disperses up to the bottom right
hand corner and top left hand corner, leaving the top right hand corner empty. This empty
space may seem pointless but this is what makes the image feel so spacious. The blue sky
the occupies this space helps to make it feel spacious because the colour is so bright, if this
colour was dark or even just overcast/cloudy, the image wouldn’t feel as spacious and so I
have learnt it is important to shoot modern architecture on a sunny day with blue sky, in
order for the spaciousness I want, to be achieved. Because the image is framed in this way,
the photograph almost feels 3D which is nice because it adds a sense of reality to it, helping
the viewer to understand that this is real life and if they just look up they will witness this
beauty right in front of their eyes.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image probably feels the most
spacious out of all of them so far in this shoot. I got down super low under the building and
looked straight up at the building to achieve this perspective/viewpoint. I really like the way
this looks because the building almost seems squished and unnatural when really this is how
it looked to me when I was underneath it ready to shoot. There is a lot of empty, open space
being occupied by the blue sky in this image which really helps to make it feel open and
spacious like I want it to. I used the rule of thirds to position my care at the centre of the
building so that the image feels balanced for the viewer and therefore looks more appealing
to the eye. This image also uses the compositional technique, leading lines, as the panels in
the actual structure of the building run from one side of the skyscraper to the other. This
helps lead the viewers eyes right the way through the image to give them the ‘full picture’ at
first glance which is useful as it helps them to understand the meaning better from the start.
If you look closely, you can see the blade at the top of the building which is cool because it
gives the viewers an indication as to how large and tall this structure actually is.
 This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image is not so good because it
doesn’t feel very spacious at all, it actually feels quite confining. I used a close up shot type
to take this image and I’m not sure why. I think I was trying to look at the building from a
different angle however this angle just doesn’t suit my meaning very well at all. There is barely
any empty space being occupied by the bright blue sky and this is why it feels so confining
unlike all the others in this shoot. I do like the angle I used here but I definitely needed to
zoom out so that more open/empty space was included in the frame. On the plus side, the
image is very crisp and clear because I used a fast shutter speed and low aperture to take
this photograph. Another thing I don’t like about this image is how you can sort of see
what’s inside the building, I think it’s an elevator. Because I used such a close up shot type,
rather than being able to just see reflections of the sky on the windows, you can actually just
see straight through them. I don’t like this as the reflections not he windows in previous
images are beautiful and help to make the image feel really spacious, relating better to my
project and my meaning.

This is a small, rectangular image produced in colour. This image is very similar to the third
image in this shoot however, this one feels a bit more spacious than the other one because
more of the empty space is included in the frame. Pretty much half of the frame is occupied
by the sky and the other half occupied by the building. Therefore the image feels balanced
and looks appealing. I like how the viewers focus is pulled up to the middle of the frame from
the bottom left corner as it leads their eyes to the more open and spacious part of the frame
which is nice as it conveys my meaning a lot better. I think that the best buildings to shoot
are ones similar too this, that have reflective windows, as the bright blue colour that makes
the whole photograph feel really spacious, reflects off of them and opens it up even more. In
theis image, similar to some of the other images from this shoot, you can see the top of the
building, the blade, which allows the audience to understand the scale of its size. This can
influence them to feel intrigued into how an image of such a large building can feel so
spacious which could influence the audience to reach their own conclusions about the
purpose of this photograph.
