These images, to me, visually communicate the construction of deconstruction. I have used aspects of the works studied to use the lighting and composition in a way which not only creates a successful image but portrays my message.

The subject matter within the images tells a story. The oven and fire place are direct links to what used to be. The torn down walls and rubble on the floor show the deconstruction of the space's original state. The pigeons show the new state of the space, an empty uninhabited shell of a house.

Third Shoot

During this shoot I focused on the refined goal. I tried to capture the construction of deconstruction. I also tried to capture the space in the style of Andrew Ross, Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre.

LIGHT- Andrew Ross

The way Andrew Ross captures light in his photography is something that I want to accomplish.The direct lumination brings attention to the subject matter and gives the image a focal point. The light of Ross's Photography also seems to give the spaces captured an airy, empty and abandoned feel.  

MESSAGE and COMPOSITION - Yves Marchand and Romain Meefre

The messages that Yves and Romain portray in their work of the abandoned Detroit is very similar to what I am aiming to achieve in my own work. The images of these abandoned spaces communicate the effects of the elements and how they have managed to deconstruct the spaces original state. The way that they have composed the photographs allow the viewer to envision how the space used to be. The framing of the images and the point of perspective trap the viewer by drawing you're eye into the picture. Doing this ensures that the viewer is focused on what the artist whants you to see. In this case, areas of decay.

Refined Goal 

After the last two shoots I have decided to refine my focus for what I want to portray in my images. I have decided to remain  focused on the deconstruction and construction of space and how the space but in a slightly different way. I want to focus on the construction of the deconstruction where different elements contribute to the construction of the deconstruction of space over time.

Second Shoot

For my second shoot I focused on the communicating the deconstruction of space. The inhabitants that have occupied this building have deconstructed the spaces within. They have defaced surfaces and ripped down the barriers. In doing this the inhabitants have deconstructed the space by introducing the space to the surrounding spaces and manipulating what this place once was.

First Shoot

For my first shoot I have taken photos that focus on the constructed spaces around us. The crane on the Wellington waterfront is a clear example of a constructed space. The steel members that are welded and bolted together act as the members that construct the form work of the crane. The honest structure reveals itself to the viewer, in doing this the constructed of space is visually obvious.

My Goal

My goal for DSDN144 is to try to capture spaces that focus on the construction and the deconstruction of space.
