"Architecture of density"

This set of images depict the vibrant city of Hong Kong. Wolf has done this by shooting from an unusual and interesting perspective, which makes his images so individual and eye catching. He has focused on repetition of pattern and form to make the images so aesthetically pleasing.

I like the way Woolf has framed his compositions, he has incorporated many formal elements including line, form and pattern. His images almost become unrecognisable and this is something I would like to emulate within my photographs. Furthermore, I particularly like the middle image because of the striking colours and the geometric shapes created.

From the research I have done, I have thought about some important factors to consider when shooting..

• Time of day
• Composition
• Viewpoint

These are all relevant as they can completely change the dynamic of a composition.
