Bechers

The Bechers are my main influence on this project and have pretty much been my main starting point in the research. Their main style is to choose a certain item, most famously water towers, and take a large amount of photos of different water towers, but the exact same position each time also, from the exact same distance. This is what I've been trying to achieve for that last few weeks, but, unlike water towers, bridges aren't a single standing structure which makes it harder for me to find an angel which makes them all look interesting. This is what I've been experimenting with lately, find a position, going to every bridge I can find and shooting that bridge from the same angle, some of them have worked, but then some have been a tad boring.

What else I really like about their work is the layout, having all the pictures layout into one large group goes really well. Once I've taken enough pictures and found a angle that I like I will then be able to play about with layout of my work. Also, it goes well with the black and white appearance, it will be another thing that I will have to consider when it comes down to my final layout.
The other thing that I really like about their work is the patterns. What I'm thinking is that I will try and using the sides of bridges and the sides will give of a good look, and combined with the layout It would work well.
What I'm thinking about doing it making all of the pictures square and just making a huge montage. Maybe something like 'the 99 bridges' so I can have 33 x 33 pictures. I think it should work well, but it will show with what I experiment with.
