For this project, I chose the photographer Daido Moriyama as my inspiration. Something I tried to capture was the isolated and eerie feeling that this artist’s pictures portray. I think that putting a monochrome filter on all of these photos helps create a similar feeling for the photographer because it focuses on the subject rather than the colors. When things are colorful they can make someone feel more joyous emotions while looking at the photo, so taking away the color allows you to focus on the deeper meaning of the photo. A feeling I wanted to create was emptiness from one of the photos that Moriyama took. I inserted this feeling into one of my pictures because it shows a swing with nothing but nature around it. I added my own style to this project by adding more nature shots in contrast to the cityscapes that the photographer did.
