Colour, Light, Movement, and Space: Signs

This was the first Audio Visual project and a kind of playful experiment for me. I'm not really a photographer so I decided to take a walk around Lincoln and take pictures of things that caught my eye in relevance to Colour, Light, Movement or Space. I came out with two sets of photo's, the first was signs, which focused mainly on colour:

Click photo's for fullsize.


This photo turned out to be a bit of a happy accident as I didn't intend to get my feet in it. I wanted to create perspective and a 'dropping' effect in relevance to the sign on the wall. However by my feet appearing in the photo, I feel it adds an air of mystery, have I fell down the sudden drop, or am I going to jump?



This caught my attention because of the bright red colour, alike to most of the signs in my photos. I thought it was nice because of the grafittied heart too. I wanted to make the bin look more dominant to the surroundings so took it close-up and from a lower angle.





Observing the graffiti invading signs (man made object) and the signs invading the natural environent (trees) and how those colours work together in a photograph.



Trying to dissect the photo into three parts, sky, wall, and floor. The light is represented by the sky, and the shadow and the colour by the sign.


Once again I was observing graffiti on signs, and how people seem to vandalise brightly coloured things. I like this photo because the red stop sign really stands out from the bricks behind it. The angle (looking up) combined with the intense colour makes the sign look foreboding.


I liked the way that this would have once been an intensely red sign but now the colour was fading/rusting away. I also tried to create perspective leading 'inside' to the area were the valve was located.
