I really wanted to embrace steel, brick, and
concrete. I really felt like through
those elements of industry I might find the emotions I was trying to
convey. There is something about the
permanence of buildings, of wood and stone coming together that makes me feel
like vintage has been expressed. As far
as my recipe, there was very little set up, in that it was more about the shot
finding me than me finding the shot. I
was attending an event at an old warehouse.
I was standing in the center of the room and looked across and saw what
looked like a scene which might do a good job of conveying the feeling of
memory. I held my phone up and saw if
frame into my camera and thought it looked good. After taking a couple of shots, I turned the
phone to a slight angle and suddenly the shot really fell into place. There was something about turning the camera
on a slight angle that really helped make this photo feel like it was a window
into someone’s memory. I actually just
used my regular Iphone5s camera for this shot.
I edited it pretty minimally. I
simply selected “auto enhance, which made the colors a bit more vibrant, and
then I selected a pre-set setting called “Instant” which added a nice pale
yellow tone to the photo. I did not crop
the shot, nor did I have the “subject” pose; she was unaware a photo was being
taken, and I think that helped capture something candid.
