So when I set out to take my photos, I kept my focus on the entire scenery so I could pick from a wider range of patterns and textures to work from.
I experimented a little bit with creating texture by using a lower aperture and photographing reflections as well as focusing on perspective.
And my final few photos where to purely focus on shapes.
After putting the images in black and white, I could more easily pick out shapes and textures to edit together.
Using these photos, I did a few tests, resulting in these:
My top 3 from my work are:
I decided to go with this one for my presentation as I felt it had a good balance, interesting shape layering and the overall strongest visual outcome. I think if I were to redo this project I’d take more photos like the final set and think more strongly about centre points of the images.
