Overgrown 2

Overgrown 2

Again this photo looks at modern buildings and confined spaces for nature. There a certain features I like about this photo but others I don't like and things I can take from this to improve my work in the future. What drew me to take this photo was the stained blank wall, and the overgrown plants leaning against it. I feel there is some repetition in this image, the stains on the wall seem to mirror the plants below.

Again this photo shows modern 2000+ architecture and building materials, all very bland and similar to all other buildings. The grubby modern wall shows lack of use and the overgrown plants and dying grass hang over the metal cofinments that were designed to keep it in place. All showing a lack of care / maintenance. These plants are purely decorative and have been forgotten about, as no one cares including me. 

Compared to the first overgrown image, this photo has no real depth, it also has no surroundings to give it at context or any form of narrative. This photo is a very simple angle, and cold have worked better if it wasn't strait on, if I also included more surrounding areas it may have given the plants more importance. This photo isn't portfolio worthy at all, with the only aspects I actually like are the stains in the wall comparing to the overgrown trees standing below them.

Things to consider in the future:

- Make sure the photo and subjects are interesting, they need to engage with the audience and have a context/ underlying subject that isn't always visible. 

- Even by changing the angle of this photo it would have made more creative shapes and a stronger geometric feel.

- Don't take photos in the spare of the moment, make sure it's interesting and has depth.
