The photos I took for these two were also taken for a unit of AS photography, I took between 90 and 120 overall and scrapped around 20 to 30. Of the 76 images I have left I have chose 5 of the possibilities for the double page spread or contents page.
This first one is essentially the one I used in the actual Double Page Spread with an auto white balance filter and slightly heightening the contrast. I was tempted to use this, but the black and white version added connotations of depression and desolation and as the title was "apocalypse" it was deemed more fitting.
This next one I wanted to use because I thought the blue added more depression less desolation and the broad dark outlining of the human figure made it slightly threataning. I considered using this for my contents page but decided against it as the blue may interferre with the colour scheme.
Looking straight at the camera I thought this broad outline could be put to good use. But too much of the image was the white trees in the background. Nice image. Not nice to try to put text over: I didn't want to fill the scene with more black.
I thought this one of the old war shelter in the sunlight would be a great oxymoron with "Apocalypse" which could make the image more devastating. But again putting text onto it would be impractical.
This final one is almost the identical image with the colour taken out. With the oxymoron gone putting "Apocalypse" on this would be quite sinister. But when I considered it, the lack of central focus, unlike the image I chose made it impractical.
