The scan doesnt do it justice. Its E100VS, my favorite slide film. Its
less magenta and more Orange.
This is city hall again, I tend towards an aesthetic as its the way I
see. Ill try and use the entirety of the viewfinder image to fill with
a scene and I will turn and tilt the camera and my head until i get
both the scene, and the aesthetic I want. I like the concept of
vanishing point and perspective, you will see that in my compositions.
I dont necessarily think out an image in advance, but I do know from
years of experience how a certain kind of scene will look, in advance,
from a description, and from there it gives me a visual marker to work
with when I am actually in the scene.
I believe, that in order for images to actually work or perform a function of memory entrapment, a visual aesthetic is essential, everything from that point onwards follows. This aesthetic is achievable via cropping an image and for a news situation, for instance, where visual aesthetics are less important then content, the same applies; once the content is achieved then the aesthetic can be applied.
This image was for a piece on security and the concept of the watchful
eye being watched itself perhaps directly or indirectly.
Incidentally I could not be seen my the security camera directly but
via reflection I could see it.

Beautiful photograph. But if you are not happy with the olour balance, why not change it in photoshop. Using VS film changes the natural colours anyway (this is why I liked it but could never use it for wildlife subjects) so there should be issues with changing the scanned image.

wow, the composition in this is fucking stellar.

Just brilliant. Colors and comp are really outstanding
johnkershner (43 months ago | reply)
this is beautiful! it has a 007 feel to it (maybe thats because I saw the new film yesterday).
Mark Waldron (43 months ago | reply)
This is great - I'm sure the original slide is even greater! I'm never happy with scans either. The slides can be so beautiful - like stained glass. I'm sure this is the case with this shot. Nice one!
