Project2_Shot4_Hamel
Intention: In this picture, my goal was to show dynamic tension through various lines, textures, color, and light. I admired this staircase so much, I actually used two shots of it in this project, though both from very different angles. This particular shot was actually shot upside-down, this photo was NOT rotated. While taking many different shots here, I happened to notice just how interesting it looked from below, but upside-down. This gives the picture a sense of confusion and disarray, and almost a bit of an M. C. Usher feel as well.
Reference to Reading: David DuChemin talks about lines and patterns, and how they create a visual echo and draw greater attention to the shape itself.
Outcome: Even though this is a similar picture of the same subject as my previous photo, I still find this photo to be a unique success. I think the overall "feel" of the photo is different, showing that a simple shift in perspective can change an entire story in a photograph. I really enjoy the slightly off-kilter "balance" this photo has as well.
Edits: +Exposure, +Contrast, -Highlights, -Shadows, +Blacks, +Texture, +Clarity, +Dehaze, +Vibrance, +Sharpening, +Noise Reduction, Color Mixer for Hue/Saturation, Color Grading for Midtones/Shadows/Highlights, and Vignette.
