Gabriele Basilico Series 5











Artist Statement
For this series, I created images that were inspired by my first portfolio draft. To incorporate similar aspects from my portfolio while also improving on quality, I took images that had sky and electrical wires in them in addition to pieces of infrastructure. Over the course of this project, I have found that electrical wires are a very important feature to the images because they divide up negative space (the sky) and provide depth. In the past, I did not always use wires to assist in the depth of the images, but in this batch I really focused on creating images with good depth. I successfully did so by pointing my camera at buildings on an angle and using wires to aid the process. In editing, I kept all of the images in black and white, but also made sure to bring out the different shades of darks and whites to create a clear differentiation between parts of the image. 

NOTE: The thumbnails for each of the images above are pixelated and do not show the full quality of the images. To see each image in full quality, simply click on it. 

Sorry for any inconveniences this problem may have caused.

  1. The images are not pixilates at all! And these pictures go together so well! I love the wires and how they bring everything together. The pictures all have similar color tones and this helps them mold together well. These are all perfect for the final portfolio.

  2. I love that the pictures are cohesive, but different in their own way. you captured the wires very well, and the shadows on the buildings really add to the depth of each one. good job

  3. These are super cool but focus more on architecture and not telephone wires.

  5. These pictures are awesome. I really like how you are using contrast now, and my only suggestion is that you stick to architecture more.

  6. I like how this time you incorporated a lot of the focus of telephone wires, and took the images of buildings from further away.
