Line Work Diary

Evaluation
My photography session on the topic ‘Lines’ was very interesting because at first I struggled with the concept on what ‘Lines’ meant, did it mean lines of things? People in lines? Or any lines at all? I found this quite difficult until I settled into the vision and began to see lines everywhere, in brickwork, shadows and even trees.It helped to focus on the architecture of buildings as well as lines in nature. A favorite of mine in this session was lines in brickwork.



I chose this as I loved the way the lines of metal looked like towers and cast shadows behind them. I like the way the shadows collide and as well as the lines of metal there is the lines of brickwork in the background. If I could change anything about this photo it would be to take it more straight on e.g. I would line up the bricks at the top and at the bottom and take the photo more directly from the front as here it looks as if the photo was taken on an angle.


I chose this as I like the way there’s loads of lines that are interchanging around the bricks, also how the bricks form lines in themselves. If I could change anything about this photo I would've taken it from a straight on angle instead of with the camera pointed upwards.

Progression:
If I could carry on with this project I would like to experiment taking photos of people in arrangements of lines and rows. I would also like to delve further into collections of brick work and different bricks. If I could shoot lines again I would like to try a different setting so maybe inside instead of outside, and focus on lines within the household and within buildings instead of outside and architecture.

When I thought of lines at first I pictured a railway line, how the tracks are always parallel and will never meet separated by more lines, therefore this is something I would like to pursue on the topic of lines, I would like to photograph the different tracks of a train and lines to do with trains and tubes etc.
