Veil | Concealing curtain Differentiates Separates Screens |
T here is a renovation project underway in the entrance to the Utt Music building on campus. A relatively small area has been sectioned off with heavy plastic draped from ceiling to floor. This image is a composite of five different shots of the plastic from different angles and view points. I was interested in the way the plastic was filtering the light and the abstract qualities of the background shapes and their muted colors.
All the images were captured in raw mode to provide the most flexibility in post capture processing; this allows me to expand the dynamic range and adjust the saturation with minimum degradation. Although I am pleased with the individual shots, I felt that this amalgamation most effectively expresses the ambiance I experienced at the scene.
“Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.”- Henri Cartier Bresson
