As shown In a previous post I have produced a small amount of test shots but mentioned that I would be shooting more. For these test shots I decided to go on location near park lane collage and produce shots revolving around houses in that area, which are heavily graffitied and generally look 'unkept' and eery.
I have edited these shots lightly using photoshop as I wanted to improve my editing skills. In previous projects, I have not edited my images much as I prefer in-camera effects. However, as this is experimental work, I thought it was necessary to involve an editing technique. I have added shadows and generally made the images look darker as could possibly be seen as scarier.
The shots were taken at mid day and all use natural light.
Reviewing this task, I have come to the conclusion that it may be an intelligent chose to photograph in natural light for my final piece. This is because, in my opinion, the shot looks obviously more natural which is my preference.
The images follow a colour theme of red, black and white which shows the images are connected. They are also on the same street which can be used as a narrative of a persons journey down the street and arriving at the final point of the door.

I am happy with these shots as I think they are different to projects I have done previously showing a wide range of imaginative response. If I could change anything about this task I would have shot in different locations and maybe would have shot some at night and shown the contrasts of the light.
