Nicole Haynes, Task #1




After looking at Thomas Struth's work I noticed all the old cityscapes that he photographed. I also read online on a bio website about him that he had said "how do you live with history? Then I began to ask: How is history embedded in the architecture of a city?" This question that he asked himself made me branch of to my idea that I wanted to show the old architecture design of some buildings in Toronto that we may not seem to notice right away, but have withstood the modern times of the city's development. I wasn't sure if I wanted just to show the single subject of the old building by itself, or with other modern buildings around it to show the difference. I uploaded 3 different yet similiar outlooks on the idea, let me know what you guys think works best! Thanks!

  1. I would pull back on these shots, to give more of a sense of space and to see more of the architecture. Do you have any that aren't so closely cropped?

    1. Camille,

      No I don't have a lot that were not so closely cropped that I liked anyways. I'm thinking of re shooting this assignment now that I've looked at these pictures more. Thanks for the tip!
