Contact Sheet

Below is the contact sheet for my first shoot which I did on the 22 July 2013 at approximately 5.00 PM.


I found this location whilst driving from Lower Hutt towards Wellington. I pulled into Belmont Domain near the river and climbed through some trees and over a large pile of tree scraps.
I approached the place with a little bit of caution, remembering being told not to die whilst trying to take photos, with a bit of caution I continued.

Just looking around was incredible, I could see the old shack which I used as my starting place. I saw the tractor which was the only useful looking thing there. I saw the orange Ute which stole most of my attention, it looked awesome.

I love the images of the Ute. I love how naked the vehicle appears.
9 Profiles the truck, emphasizing a lack of doors and pickup tray.
10 Is looking through the Ute, emphasizing the lack of glass in the window, the sight of the steering wheel almost gives life to the vehicle, but the forgotten location ahead reminds us of its uselessness.
11 Shows the empty space in the front where there were no seats no carpet, a puddle of water, and no signs of human life.
12 Shows off the empty front of the vehicle, no motor, nothing to give the vehicle life.
13 Shows the lifeless machine against a backdrop of the motorway where other vehicles are being driven by people, helping them throughout their everyday lives. This shows off how disposable this pile of metal is.

I chose to title them with numbers as it shows the order I would like people to think I shot the images in.
