Foreground & Background

 February 21, 2023
I was looking around to see what I can take photographs for this project, and I saw a relationship between the curves of this basket and the satellite dish. I had two options in the editing stage, I either make the horizontal line to be aligned for the basket or the half wall that is right below the dish, but I decided to align to the basket to give it this almost unsettling feel to it.
In my grandma’s house, there are these pipes that I thought made an interesting composition to try to make a triangle, spent over 30 minutes trying and decided to move on. But then realised that I can work with this black pillar with the underpart of the second floor balcony. And so with a bit of manipulation of angles and editing and cropping, this is the result.

Coming from Finding Light, this was a walk in the park because I always try to find relationships between shapes with my eyes for fun.

I was in my hometown so it was really nostalgic, refreshing, and just fun. These were my 3 favorite photos from the project.
