Shapes of Industry

Posted on by

All of the images in this series are taken in Midland or Northern UK cities and all buildings were occupied at the time of capture. They were all taken within the last 5 years. Whilst industrial areas are not designed to look picturesque per se my intention, by utilising careful composition, is to show a more aesthetically pleasing side. The best conditions are overcast skies to avoid harsh shadows and high contrast, surprisingly more difficult than anticipated in the UK. Time of the week is also an important factor, with Sunday being by far the best day due to lack of people and parked vehicles.

Geometric….or not?

I am fascinated by how slightest irregularities gives wonderful juxtaposition to the otherwise clean lines found in modern architecture. Even the flatest looking window pane is likely to have some warping, which is excellent for creating abstract photography out of geomentric structures.

Lines

One of my favourite photographic subjects is lines in minimalist photography. Lines can be vertical, horizontal, or even diagonal, and work equally well in colour and black and white compositions. More of my lines series can be found in my sales gallery here

Black Windows

Although I have done some editing to eliminate reflections from the glass in the window, most of the work was done when taking the shot. I often have to move around to adjust the reflection to my liking, sometimes to include it, sometimes not. More of my minimal style windows can be found in my sales gallery

 

Simplism

It is difficult to know how far to go with minimalism. Taking out too much detail can lead to blandness, whilst leaving in the detail can be distracting. In this image the intent was to see just how much detail I could remove to keep visual interest. For me this works, the essential part of the image being slight imperfections in the wall to compliment the simple composition.
