Abandoned hospital

I went to St Saviours abandoned hospital to attempt to capture how nature has taken over the building over time. This was challenging as it is a restricted area so I just had to take pictures from outside/ far away and work with what I could.

Contact sheet:

I didn’t manage to take many photos as the weather was very overcast and the images just appeared cluttered from a lot of angles. However I regret not taking lots as I would of had a range of images to choose from.

Although I didn’t have a lot to choose from, these are the images I chose to edit, I used the flagging system on Lightroom to separate the images I thought had potential to edit and those that didn’t.

Image Analysis

These are the outcomes from this shoot. I wont necessarily use all of these in my final photo book they are just the outcomes from this specific shoot.

I think the compositions of these images display the theme of my project well. I positioned myself so that the camera would be looking through the trees through to the abandoned building; portraying the theme of seek. I like how the foreground is of the branches and leaves, however the camera has focused on the background of the building as that is my aimed focal point of the images.

The tone of this image correlates with the theme of my project. Abandoned places have usually been taken over my nature and naturally rotting. This building was covered in a layer of moss, which I then tempered with in the editing process; I increased the hue, saturation and luminance of the colour green (as shown below) to enhance the vibrancy in the image.

Evaluation

Overall, this photoshoot didn’t go exactly as I planned, there wasn’t many successful outcomes and the weather effected my images a lot. However I did get those few outcomes which I think fit my theme perfectly and represent the overall theme of seek well.
