Photography 1: P & P, Proj 17: The User's Point of View

Project 17: The user's point of view.

For this project I chose 3 buildings or spaces designed for a particular activity that is undertaken from a specific, distinctive position.  I took a photograph of each location in order to capture the user's point of view.

The images created are shown below:

2589; Fish Restaurant, Whitstable, Kent.

This photograph was taken inside a fish restaurant housed in an old oyster processing factory on the beach at Whitstable.  The building has large windows that allow the excellent light from the sea to flood in to the space.  The building has a number of rooms with interconnecting doors and windows.  These openings give the diner an interesting view into the other spaces in the building.

2836; View From a Church Pew.

This photograph was taken from a church pew, a few rows back from the front.  The lighting in church was challenging due to the speaker being positioned in front of a large stained glass window.  It was not appropriate to use a flash on the camera.  The image captures the point of view of a member of the congregation.

2285; Street Cafe, Lisbon.

The view from an outside seat at a cafe in the main square in Lisbon captures the feeling of what it is like to sit and watch the world go by on a sunny day.
