Beauty In The Banal Research

For this brief I was struggling a little with coming up with an idea and in my 121 I was told to take something boring and turn it into something interesting. So I had a little walk around my neighbourhood and something that popped up a lot was bus stops and bus shelters. I walk past them everyday and to be honest, they are quite boring. I also decided to shoot these a night as night photography has always been something I have been interested in and try.

Richard Hooker

One photographer I found was Richard Hooker, who has a whole project called “By the Bus Stop” in which has goes all around London and photographs the bus stops whether they are full or empty. I was first drawn to his images because of the bright colours and how he has composed his images. I later found out that this series was shot on film through out 2001 to 2005.

75622 - Thurloe St, South Kensington Station

58266 - Finsbury Square

Although I won't be photographing during the day or when they have people waiting at them, one thing I will take away is how he has composed them. Standing across the street from the shelter itself to have it all fit in the frame, having both the shelter and post in the frame too.

Luca Orsi

Another photographer I found was Luca Orsi who created a project called “Atmospheres” which aims to “represent the empty urban scenes in a nocturnal mood.” I was really attracted to the work because of the colours yet again and how Orsi captures such beautiful light in dark places. The work also gives off quite a spooky vibe as most of the places are devoid of people which makes it give off that vibe.

These were the only images of bus stops within the project but I love how the shelters are light by one single light overhead and how everything else around it is almost in darkness. Orsi also seems to take the approach that Hooker does too which is standing across the street to photograph to fit everything in the frame. The colours are bright and vivid too, catching our eye and drawing us into the images.
