A current project of mine is focused on my intention to draw
out the aesthetically appealing elements in the buildings in my
local area, Oadby, Leicestershire, as they were not intended to be
aesthetically pleasing, rather they are primarily functional. I could then, as
an area of expansion, photograph Leicester as
a comparison.
This could photographed in the style of the 'New Topographics', transforming the objects by reducing them "to an essentially topographic state, conveying substantial
amounts of visual information but eschewing entirely the aspects of
beauty, emotion and opinion...". In addition, to enhance detail and slow the process down to carefully think about composition etc., a large-format camera could be used (typically 5x4), though a lot of preparation with digital will need to be made before shooting on 5x4.
