Rejected Work

So I had a final 8 images and thought that the finals were complete with this amount of images.  I think they flow well together and having some different compositional images within the set you can see how different the backs of houses can be, but with this I wanted to make sure I stuck to the exact brief which  is to only have a final 6 images.  For this i needed to cut two images out.

Here at the top are the two rejected images.  I think that individually, each image could say a lot about the way the back of the house is presented and how the idea of a personality given can be seen within these images.  I personally like these top two images when individually.  I like hoe the graffiti and the broken fence panels show such a difference to what the front of house would and also of how different they are next to each other.  The reason the are not in the final six is because they are the images that stand out as different now.  Although the series is not called 'garages' or anything, the other houses show the garage, where as these do not, so stand out can when removed from the final six make a noticeable difference.

 So above shows the two rejected images from the final 8 that I had, and here below are the final 6 images.  It is a selection of the best and most deadpan images out of the whole series of images from the back alley. I have narrowed all my images to these final 6 images.  I would like to think that I have managed to convey the "same so different" aspect to my images, I wanted to resemble images from photographers series that I have looked at from the New Topographics and Dusseldorf School of Photography.  I was able to recreate a bright nothingness image of some of the end's of gardens and have them placed next to each other like it's the same strip and all next too each other.

Although my "Same so Different" aspect would seem as if it doesn't show in my final six, because the three top images, for example are quite similar in the fact of there is a big garage - but it was also the fact of the Man Altered landscape that i wanted to show here.  I wanted to show how they are each different to each persons living in the house, but the change will happen, in 10 years from now these could change, now owners means new change.
