Andreas Gursky - Biscuit tin final piece w/ Photoshop edits - Ellesmere lake



I love this photo by Gursky because of how unique it is. It sacrifices content/detail for the idea behind it. He has captured the path, ground, river and sky all together showing parallel lines. It is perfectly parallel which makes it so different. So I took a photograph on my phone as a small experiment a while back, shown below:


I've decided I want to use Gursky's concept of Parallel lines in one of my final pieces. However, I don't want it to just be an ordinary image from a DLSR canon camera. I am going to capture it using  black and white film. Not only will it give it vary up my image but it will have a grainy, old fashioned style to it, which personally I love.
