| Property Line |
Before visiting the exhibition, I thought this would be a stand out photo for me. I was attracted to the sheer scale and vast surroundings in the photo. In reality when I saw the huge print I felt this was one of the weaker photos of the exhibition. There are certain features of the photo that I am still drawn to, but I feel the photo is lacking where as other photos in the series stand out much more. The photo is a great example of a huge scale, the wide lens adds to this. The photo is only exotic because of the setting, a grand desert scape and mountainous region, I believe that this is one of the main reasons why it's a successful image, once the audience knows the title; 'Property Line', it changes the perception of the photo, it gives it a wider sense of narrative and also suggests change. I find there is some relationship between the man made and nature, it shows such a raw and natural landscape untouched by humans, soon to be changed for property reasons.
Wide
Huge scale
Mountainous region, two men in high bus
Stand out in centre of image
Bottom half of photo leads off into dirty track and eventually road to horizon line
Good textures throughout
Huge proportion of photo is of sky
Scale is huge, wide shot allows you to see everything, only can be huge due to location
Great colours
Doesn't fit with other photos too well.
Strong horizon line
Title changes view of photo, the landscape will soon have buildings on it, probably a new town / housing estate
