Photographic portfolio assignment - Update
















My portfolio has developed two focus areas. Firstly the unique shape and design of the bridges and underpasses and secondly the textures used within the shapes.  These photos aim to show the contrast between the highlights and shadow areas. These causeways link Canberra motorists and pedestrians to their work, friends and family.  Each design is unique and that is why I wanted to photograph these bridges. I also want to take them from various angles to make the pictures more dramatic and visually interesting.  I've been researching Steve Back, an archectural photographer known for his work on different angles and drama, in his photography www.steveback.com.au and also Walker Evans who was known for his very "simple and direct work(TimeLife,1971,69)". Here is a snapshot of two of my possible portfolio prints.
