Photo Essay - Christopher Ly and Alec Dejanovic

Through The Looking Fence

 

Fences are generally overlooked. We are so accustomed to having a fence that we generally do not stop and admire the weathered look, the textures and the patterns of the fence that creates. This is why we have chosen fences for our topic.

We decided to photograph fences in order to explore the patterns created by fences while looking through them and the texture of the fence itself. My partner and I photographed many fences through different angles that you would not normally look through in order to capture the unique patterns created by the fence and the background. We also looked at the shadows the fence created as well as the fence itself. All of these elements created unique outcomes and we chose the best photos for our photo essay.


The process of choosing which photo to use was a difficult task. We took into account the colour balance, whether there are interesting textures, if there are patterns created and what the shadows looked like. After choosing the best pictures we compiled them into the photo essay and added in the music. We tried to time the transition between each photo to fit in time with the beat of the song.My partner and I are quite pleased with the final outcome. We believe that we have captured the beauty in an everyday mundane object and projected amazing patterns and textures created by the fences through the photos that we have used in the essay.
