I was sitting at work when I accidentally turned my front camera on. My phone was on top of the table, and I thought that the particular way it was looking up was really interesting. It gave some really cool textures and I thought that the way that the lines in this photo played with each other was very interesting. I also love the way that the shapes around the lights kind of blend together and how the lights themselves are parallel. My favorite part though is just how the plane is slightly shifted, adding just a touch of perspective to the image.
The angle of the camera, influencing the angle of the lines on the ceiling, is a very very powerful tool in shaping the feeling of this shot. You would think with all the right angles and symmetry of the ceiling, it would be calming. But because of the angles of the shot, it seems wild. Radical.
ReplyDeleteAgain, this is a cool example of ambiguous space. Since it's at this angle, it doesn't exactly look like we're looking at the ceiling, creating a sort of uneasy distortion. I also like that the lights register as pure white, with no other detail, it sort of adds to the effect.
ReplyDeleteI like the skewed perspective with multiple vanishing points (even though the vanishing points are very far off from the frame). I agree with Drew about how the direction influences the feeling. Diagonal lines (especially going from right to left) makes it a little nauseating.
