Industrial: Seclusion & Barriers by Joseph E.B. & Ceasar M.

For our photo essay, we chose the main theme of Industrial with the sub themes of seclusion and barriers. We came to this choice of theme and sub theme because of the strong link it has with everyday aesthetics, and how people tend to usually pay little notice to industrial areas and the ways they are secluded and protected, thus providing a sense of “lost nostalgia and memory” (Murray). With this, industrial areas demonstrate how such mundane subjects can create aesthetically pleasing photographs and that capturing everyday aesthetics is an imperative factor in everyday imagery.

 The collaborative images were captured within the Port Botany district during the mid-semester break, including numerous importing and exporting container yards and logistics dispatches. We used a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera and mobile phone camera to capture our images and used iPhoto and iMovie to develop our images and slideshow. SoundCloud was also used to search for appropriate creative commons licensed music for our slideshow.
