Artistic Statement Rough Draft.

I want to enhance regular architectural photographs by adding some extreme contrast variants to add depth into the photographs. I also intend to combine the static nature of architecture with the dynamic movement of the clouds and water. This adds another layer of context into the whole story. To create the effects of time, timed, long exposures were used to create movement. With the timed exposures, the clouds will no longer represent any real shape, only the movement created from the timed shots. Water was also used at times to create a floor of ice within the image to represent architecture as frozen in time. This series will show that the still beauty of modernistic architecture can withstand the prolonged effects of time.

I recently purchased a ND filter to help with creating longer exposures.

On top of practicing these long exposures. I took scouting shots of the majority of the city. Buildings include: Bartle Hall, Sprint Center, Kansas City Star. I also explored the legends and got shots for Sporting Park and the Cerner Complex.
