I was working on the website (I know I'm actually working on something I promised well over Six months ago), but I thought this was worth uploading anyway.
Made over a year ago.

Sunshine station in the golden hour, with my favourite local tree highlighted in the foreground.
This image attempts to capture a quintessential piece of modern infrastructure bathed in "golden hour" lighting, and attempting to create an interesting psychogeographic study of how institutional architecture interfaces with natural elements and human scale.
The most striking feature is the interplay between the organic and the constructed - large eucalyptus trees with their characteristic pale, twisted trunks lean into the frame, their leaves catching the warm sunset light. These trees have predated the building, and the architecture has been built around them, creating an unintentional dialogue between natural growth patterns and planned space.
The building itself represents typical contemporary institutional architecture - clean lines, metal and glass, elevated walkways, and security features like fencing and camera, cameras everywhere. There's a subtle tension between accessibility and control - while there's a welcoming pedestrian approach and bike parking visible, there are also clear boundaries marked by gates and fences.
The quality of light is particularly significant to the psychological experience of this space. The low-angle sunlight creates long shadows and gives the typically austere institutional architecture a momentary warmth, softening its edges. This transformation suggests how the same space can evoke different emotional responses depending on temporal conditions.
The curved pathway and the positioning of the trees create a natural leading line that draws people toward the entrance, while simultaneously providing a buffer between the hard architectural elements and the human experience of approaching the building. This design element subtly influences how people move through and relate to the space.
The overall composition considers the modern condition of navigating spaces that attempt to balance institutional functionality, security concerns, and human comfort - a common psychogeographic theme in contemporary urban environments.
One of several projects, that explore photography as evidence amongst other ideas.
