For this photograph, I chose to imitate the style of Weegee, a photographer known for focusing on urban life and strong lighting to capture the modern city at night. Weegee’s work focused on everyday things like cars, buildings and streets. His photographs often relied on high contrast and available light. In my photograph, I chose to take two parked cars at night with a brightly lit modern building in the background. The glowing taillights and interior lights create sharp contrast in the darkness, just like Weegee’s use of artificial light to draw attention to structure and form. The cars serve as symbols of modern life, while the building is the modernist architecture and design. I did not stage or alter the scene, I allowed the environment to present itself naturally. This straightforward approach aligns with modernism by focusing on realism, urban subject matter, and the visual impact of light within a modern city setting.
