Feelings creeping over Clarke Quay

For our new assignement, we are to take 3 photos representing realism, expressioism and formalism. The place I choose to take is in Clarke Quay.

Realism
This photo shows Clarke Quay as it is. What I like about the two buildings is that they have a 'stepping' structure that seems like creeping out to the skies.

Formalism
I took this photo at the bus stop just outside Clarke Quay MRT station. It gives a feeling of the sun that is slowly 'creeping' out from the shadows of the clouds.

Expressionism
This photo is the interior of Clarke Quay MRT during a non-peak period. The feeling I want to express here is that, for a MRT station which always will have people busying buzzing by for work and stuffs, can actually looks 'creepy' and isolated without the human factor.

Overall, I feel that the place could represent the 3 views quite well. However, one major flaw that I failed to consider is the fact that from the 3 photos, it is hard to tell that the place is actually is at Clarke Quay. Mr. Reddy suggested to take a more depictive photo of Clarke Quay for 'Realism'.

Rating: I feel that I could get a 8/10 but could be higher as my audience could not tell straight away that the place of my subject is at Clarke Quay.

Photomontage

For Assignment 4, our topic is on a photomontage on the them 'The Day After'. So, I decided to come up with this photomontage signifying 'the day after' in my everyday life.



This is a 'fish-eye' view of the scenery outside my window. Everyday when I reach home, the first thing I would do is to turn on my computer and start doing my stuffs. Chatting, gaming, and programming is becoming a major routine in my life. I took this particular photomontage as I would want to create an effect of 'drawing' the outside world nearer to me. The view of things other than my computer and my room would always be there even the day after.

Rating: I particular like the 'fish-eye' view effect as it seems to magnify the view of the scene outside my window. I rate it a 8.5/10. However, in the tutorial, Mr. Reddy did mention that the image did not bring out the feeling I want to express. Thus I have to re-rate my work to 7/10.
