These are pictures I made for a schoolproject where I have to express a Baudelaire poem (about the beauty and decay etc etc of the modern city), my idea was to transpose these feelings of beauty, emptyness, decay, industrialisation etc to a modern city; Antwerp.
Problem, it's a lot easier to build a story around a picture than the other way around!
Anyway, let me know what you think. I don't consider myself to be a photographer, I'm really aware of the fact that I'm not good at it at all.
Huge underground parking lot, forbidden territory, we dodged the cameras by entering on the other end, but some guard turned up anyway. We made a runner.
Construction site in progress, I was sad because I don't have a wide angle lens (or a decent camera for that matter
)
another parking lot + overexposure
left bank, long exposure time, cloudy night and huge oil processing flame behind these buildings. The whole sky was on fire.
Same construction site as above, cool atmosphere, too bad about the crane.
Same night, different buildings, I was standing between the buildings. The building on the street side was gone, so I had acces to the 'inside' of these living complexes. Two days later they had installed a massive gate, so I couldn't enter anymore. Coincidence?
Same site
Same site again
Taken at night in an abandoned and decayed station. Spooky atmosphere, the wind was playing with the loose roof, so we were rather scared, plus some dude showed up with a flashlight. We ran again.
Again
At daytime
Again, needs reframing
Probably my favorite, very anachronistic setup
Looking from the first floor, the water was pooring through the roof.
Harbour shot at night, nice colours, composition is so so
Looks a bit surrealistic this one, taken from the left bank, but the lights on the other side give it a bit of cliche look.
That's it for now.
But I guess I will give it a go...
