Eugene Atget Batch 1

In the third part of the research project, we have finally gotten to follow the recipe we have created from our artist's style. My artist, Eugene Atget, photographed black and white, off-centered, and nostalgic images. He also created depth in many of his photos through leading lines and repetition, with darker areas leading into brighter areas. I photographed different antiquated subjects in San Francisco and hoped to capture the traces of humanity without necessarily photographing people. Showing nostalgia and dreaminess in my images was quite difficult because of the high-tech cameras we have today that capture great detail and produce graininess as opposed to fuzziness or smoothness.
