While looking through Hoylands images again, it clicked that what makes her images look so ore-inspiring is how she makes it so you can only see multiples of one object. This makes it look like the whole space is taken up by this waste. The images that I am talking about are found below.
Again in the image seen below, all the viewer can see is plastic bottles and no ground. Because the viewer can't see any ground they cannot place themselves within the image which further increases the scale of the waste problem to them.
The images I produced in the first shoot of my project on waste work well to show what a scrapyard is like inside and the general scale of the problem, but I haven't used any of the techniques Hoyland has used to increase the look of the problem, which results in a more impacting photograph.
Thats why I have revisited the same scrap yard as before and took another set of photographs, but while using Hoyland's techniques as inspiration. My favourite images from the shoot are found below.
I think this image works well in showing the repetition of a certain type of object, in this case its car engines. And in the background of the image you still get a sense of scale due to the wheels and barrels. Also I like the random affect all of these engines create when pictured like this. Even though the viewer gets a sense of scale he cant place himself in the image because I haven't captured the floor in the photograph.
This image is my favourite from this shoot because I like how it captures the houses in the background which reminds the viewer of how this is all captured in a residential area, while also captured the mass of engines and cars which shows how our scale of waste well. Again like above, the viewer can't place himself in the image, but gets a sense of scale from the size of cars.
These two images above and below show where I have gone in closer to the car engines, which results in them taking up more of the frame. I think they look really good because of all the different lines and curves that can be seen within them. These could look really good blown up large when printed, because it would allow the viewer to study all the different details in them. I just wish that I used a large f/stop so there was a greater depth of field aka more of the image was in focus, this would then allow you to study the whole image in focus. But I really like the image below, because of the little details of yellow in the mass of black and grey colours.
The images above and below, further capture the randomness of all the crap to suggest to the viewer how much of it there is. This has been carried out through them not being able to see any sky, they can only see waste in the image.
These two images above and below show further how the scrapyard is split into different sections depending on the material of the object, this helps the viewer see how its managed. I think both images work well but I prefer the photo of the tires, due to its simplicity.
I think this shoot was successful in using Hoyland's techniques to increase the scale of the waste in the viewers eyes. The problem with improving on this is that because its a small scale scrapyard its impossible to capture the kind of scale Hoyland has in her images where there is only multiples of one object and the sky visible. I think to get these kind of results I will have to find a larger scrapyard. On the other hand, I really like the close up images of the engines because there is so much to study and look at. I think I might do one more shoot in this scrapyard and capture macro photographs of the waste, which could be a good development to go down for potential final pieces.
