Turn Urban Decay Into Photography ArtUrban decay is everywhere I'm afraid, from the rubbish on our streets to the burnt out cars and derelict buildings. Almost every day we can come across some eyesore of the modern disease of wastefulness and thoughtlessness. I wanted to show that even though in themselves piles of rubbish etc are not particularly attractive they can still be shot in such a way as to create very powerful and imaginative images. I have chosen four areas for this project; each will surprise you with its range of creative expression, and highlights how photography in the right hands and with a little imagination can turn anything into a work of art.
Submit Your Own Urban Decay Photographs To This Project
I tend to look at these abandoned cars as pieces of sculpture; they certainly make their presence known and dictate a certain message about their environment. By using their textures, colours and shapes in thoughtful and original ways through the photographic lens, you can turn a piece of urban decay into either an attractive abstract image or a powerful social statement.
Rubbish
- or trash as it is called in the US is simply a part of everyone's daily
existence. But how and where the rubbish is found and displayed can make
the difference between pure ugly, or a striking and even sometimes amusing
image.
If we look at rubbish as an opportunity for an interesting or at very least colourful array of images, we may discover that we are never stuck for a photographic project again.
I suspect that everyone has at least one picture of a trolley amongst their urban photography collection. Considering that vandals have decided to make them a part of our metropolitan surroundings and have added to the general urban decay, it is not surprising that they catch the photographer's creative eye.
A colourful, soft, harmless plaything against a hard grey dirty urban backdrop can be used to create many different viewpoints. From a very poignant image of lost youth or a humorous union between a child's forgotten toy and the harsh adult world.
