Eugene Atget: Final Edit

 

Eugene Atget 3

In the third batch of my Eugene Atget-styled pictures, I visited Chinatown and Alta Plaza Park to capture "Remnants of Humanity." The subjects in this batch are a mixture of architecture and nature. I continued to photograph in black and white, shoot images with depth, and create nostalgia. After editing many photographs to get the appropriate texture and temperature to reflect nostalgia and dreaminess, I am mainly focusing on changing the shadows and slightly altering the temperature for my images.

 

Eugene Atget Batch 2

In my second batch of Eugene Atget-styled pictures, I have continued to photograph in black and white and shoot off-centered and nostalgic images. I also maintained his style of shooting darker areas leading into lighter areas. Contrasting with my first batch of pictures, I decided to photograph other subjects besides buildings and other types of architecture and focus on nature in San Francisco. Atget also visited many parks in Paris to shoot the natural environment for his Documents pour Artistes. In addition, I have continued to edit the pictures by changing the temperature and exposure of the image to give off the antique feeling.
