LMD NEW WORK: GORDON RIVER DAM

A couple of shots here I took of the Gordon River Dam in Tasmania. This is at the end of a long road deep in the Tasmanian wilderness. It was quite bizarre and even a little eerie to see this monstrous piece of infrastructure in such a wild and relatively untouched environment. I have the whole series on my behance profile here.

AGELKOS PHOTOGRAPHY: TRAIN WAY

I found these shots by Agelkos Photography on behance this morning. The bridge shot initially caught my attention. I always like it when photographers capture industrial infrastructure as a silhouette. The dark shapes against a light sky often emphasise the intricate detail in the various shapes, frame works, fences etc. I really like how in this image the bridge appears partly as a silhouette and partly reveals its texture and surface detail. In both of these shots the bleak, lifeless colour and atmosphere makes this scene feel slightly removed from reality. I think it's hard to imagine that once these were in a more colourful setting perhaps during more prosperous (or even sunny) times. Check out Agelkos Photography's full profile here.

MERIOL LEHMANN: INDUSTRIAL

I found this series by Meriol Lehmann quite interesting. I think the images are amazing: rich, well composed and a great use of light and contrast. However the actual subject matter would typically be considered quite ugly. This is similar to what I've tried to convey in some of my own projects involving the urban environment. I would find it much harder to portray an Industrial site in any positive context because of the affiliations with pollution etc, and having said that I've realised that I also feel these images have a certain somber feel.
