Bowman Edward, Paul Strand

For this assignment, I chose to emulate Paul Strand’s photographic style. First by capturing an image of an object seen on a daily basis and trying to make it stand out and appear as more than it is. Strand was also known for highlighting the shapes of his subjects with a close view. I tried to capture the many different boxes in the rebar web while taking the image restively close to the object. Strand’s photography also lacked tonality and atmospheric lighting which is seen in my photo. I feel like there is a nice pattern between each piece of rebar and the much lighter sky. The different colored rebar also creates a nice texture which depended on how rusted the pieces of rebar were. Some of the rebar begins at the edge of the photo, both top and bottom. I think this creates a nice effect along with the close and low positioning of the camera.
