Transport Project: A Junior Conceptual Transport Project by Hannah Mageean (2017)

My photograph was of a shopping cart wheel with a photographer in the background. It was taken in the evening light in a parking lot. I laid on the ground to take the picture from ground level. I wanted the wheel to be the main focus but have the photographer add personality and a story to the picture. I thought that the pictures I took of roller blades would turn out better but when I started photographing the shopping cart wheels, they looked really interesting to me with all of the metal bars and this particular picture with the photographer.

One thing that I can for sure take away from this assignment is that I’m getting the hang of selections. I’m not an expert yet but I’m getting better at it. I tried to neutralize the very vibrant colors in the background to try to bring more attention to the wheel. I had to remove some ugly gum spots that were on the sidewalk.
