Typology Final

I have recently finished photographing several boat mooring bollards up and down the River Hull as part of a Typology project. I have managed to narrow these down to 9 final images to use which i thought looked the most interesting and different.

When looking at a lot of older Typology I noticed that a lot of it is in black and white due to the year it was taken. I decided to try mine in black and white and i think it makes it look like a traditional typology image and it shows the texture of the bollards well. Something i said when i first started this project was that i wanted to capture the colours and the textures which is one reason why i think this would work better in colour.





I have decided to do this project in colour as i think it definately shows the colours and the texture better than the black and white version. This are the final bollards I decided to include which were all shot on the River Hull. These images were then arranged in a grid and printed as a A2 image.

I also had a go at merging all the 9 images together to create a new image as this is something that is often done using these kinds of images.

I decided to then convert this to black and white as when the images were overlayed in Photoshop the colours became too vivid and looked fake. I am fairly pleased with this image but i haven't decided to do a print of this as i don't think it is good enough to be printed.
