For my final project I decided to emulate Frank Breuer, a German photographer. He was mostly know for his series of “Poles,” “Containers,” and “Logos.”When I started this project I had set out with an idea in my mind and I did my best to capture that image. I quickly ran into some obstacles. First, the weather didn’t always corporate. I wanted to capture a white sky, clear of clouds. I was able to achieve that with my first shoot but not during any of the other shoots. It was hard to get the appropriate scenery also. In my mind and similar to Breuer’s style, I wanted to isolate the buildings. However, in New Hampshire and in Manchester specifically there is a lot of clutter that impeded me from achieving my desired scenery. At the end of this project I was able to curate a collection of old industrial architecture, the mills in Manchester and new industrial architecture from the Portsmouth Tradeport. Although this project didn’t turn out the way I intended I did come out of my comfort zone and learned new photography skills along the way.
