My third and final photo shoot i just concentrated on the day time of this abandoned building and people still just drive past without noticing it. I also really looked at the wire cords hanging from the side of the building with coloured rubbish stuck to it.

These two contact sheets are me narrowing my second photo shoot down to 22 photos and from there making them square concentrating on the most important parts in the photo.


These contact sheets are from my second photo shoot on my site. I am concentrating on the building and how everyone just drives of walks past it like it is not there. In my day time photos i have done a range of close up's and ones that show a little bit more, i really like the graffeti and the posters that are peeling of the wood that is where windows should be. Next im am going to narrow my photos down to about 20 and make them square like my artist model Kevin Bauman.









I have two artist models one is Zachery Fein for his abandoned buildings, the main photos i am using from this artist model is from the Rooftops of Mill Creek gallery and the Over the Rhine Abandoned gallery. www.zfien.com/photography/index.html

In the Rooftop of Mill Creek gallery from Cincinati, Ohio, i really like the photos he took of the abandoned building beside the railway lines. A train is driving past leaving lines of light, like in my photos outside the building i am working with.
In the Over the Rhine Abandoned gallery also from Cincinati, Ohio, i really like the close ups of the inside of the building, giving people deepth and understanding of how these building lie with no life in them. The peeling of paint or graffti on the walls.

The other artist model is Kevin Bauman, i am mainly using his 100 abandoned houses series as inspiration. All the photos are made to be square with the house centered and on about the half way line in the frame. His photos have space and an airness about them, he using light and the thought about someone being lonely as his main features.

My first photo shoot is very blurry and yellow, as I need to change my aputure and shutter speed, while watch my white balance settings.
