Light : The first two images in my photobook are of the warmth and comfort of artificial light. Light in an integral aspect of photography and is often overlooked in daily life. I used reflections on a lampshade to create a golden glow as well as an upshot from the blind side of a floor lamp as it emits its light upwards. I left the photographs entirely unedited as the hues and shadows were perfect.
Doors: For the next set of pictures, I focused on the under the stairs cupboard door in my house. Coupled with a stark white banister, the door really stands out. The light in the background tumbling down the stairs adds depth to the photograph, but the main focus remains at the forefront. The close up picture shows the small imperfections and details it has to offer, something that would usually pass us in our household by but is mesmerising in this level of detail.
Degradation: For this piece, I focused on the outside yard in my house. The window sill and the back wall have been significantly aged over time. Painted and re-painted, I found the detail irresistible and used a black and white filter to bring more of these peaks and troughs out.
Structure: Structure was based on the linear aspect of these photos. The bricks and the books both seem familiar to each other just by the way they remain parallel to one an other. I edited both of these in a black and white filter to focus on the stark and mathematical feeling of the shots.
Morning: The softer, more subtle aspect of these photos needed to be emphasised with the addition of some brightness. The simplicity of the pictures reminisce of lazy Sunday mornings, beginnings and awakenings. I feel that these two images are my personal favorites as the simplicity feels more real and homely, something we can all relate to and yet overlooked or unseen by us all most of the time.
