Urban influences is the subject I chose to look at in more detail
because being amazed by what the city has to offer us. Thinking about this
project I had loads of different ideas buzzing around in my head. However all
this changed when my tutor escorted us outside to experience something
different. My tutor then proceeded to direct us to the top of a car park to
experience the city at different levels so receiving a different overview of
how we look at the various environments that make up this city. This totally inspired
me to look at the city from different angles to what others maybe could.
After this idea came to my mind, I decided to visit this high peek just outside of Manchester. Here you could see the whole of Manchester. I went at night because I prefer the city at night when you can see all the different coloured lights and the reflections. Some people don’t like the city at night because of the dark, even though you can see what is happening more closely, but I find it almost peaceful because the lights make everything brighter, warmer and there is reflections everywhere in the environments. I changed the shutter speed on my camera to capture movement within my photographs and to capture the light more. I know that my photographs have more of an abstract feel to them but that was part of what I found interesting because you can’t really tell what the image is but you can see all the elements of what it’s meant to be.
With all these images of Manchester at night I wanted to have more of a variety of images so I went on a visit to Birmingham traveling in a car. Taking various photographs of objects that caught my eye along the mot way. I did know that they would have a different element to them compared to the night images but they didn’t have that brightness compared to the images I took at night. They mostly just represented urban landscapes which didn’t have that wow factor that interests me. After this problem I still wanted more of a variety of images, so I went out in Manchester to a club. Taking photographs of what caught my eye that night. There seemed to have more movement in them of what I thought was in a club because when you are there you don’t notice these things, but looking round there is many elements that make the clubs interesting like the lights and mirrors. Also I used some old photographs I took in Newcastle of the reflection of the water and the millennium bridge.
