Final Piece
I did not start with an end goal when taking my photos, instead, I walked around the area I live photographing things with strong shapes and patterns. From there, I tried to observe similarities in some of the photos. At first, I struggled to pair images. I was picking my favourite photos not ones that would work best together. The concept for my final composition, pictured left, was a “midnight woodland village”. My feedback from the class was that the piece seemed nostalgic and out of a fairytale. Reflecting on the outcome, I agree. The leaves strongly remind me of lebkuchen cinnamon stars I used to eat as a child around christmas. Along with the chimneys, it seems like something out of a Grimm story.
I enjoyed the editing process a lot as we were taught the masking tool on photoshop, which I have always struggled with.
