Mood means looking at how the artist has created a certain atmosphere or feeling.
How does the work make you feel?
The photograph makes me feel skeptical and overwhelmed.
Why do you think you feel like this?
I think I feel skeptical about the photograph because it's the not knowing how far the image really is like it is going for miles on end. I think I feel overwhelmed about the photograph because I feel that when I view the photograph, I am standing on top of a hill, looking out with the huge hills, mountains, and valleys towering over me.
Does the colour, texture, form or theme of the work affect your mood?
The colour most definitely affects my mood because if the photograph was in colour, my mood would be more uplifting whereas the photograph is black and white and so it makes my mood feel emotional.
For more than ten years, Tom Manley has worked in architectural firms before becoming a photographer, focusing on architecture and the built environment. Manley lives and shoots most of his photographs in Glasgow. In 2008, Manley entered the Glasgow Institute of Architects photography competition. He won the social landscape and the documentary photography category. Below is the one photograph of Manley's which inspires me the most. source: http://tommanleyphotography.com/urban-landscapes/ This photograph of Manley's inspires me the most because many people look at urban derelictions and think that they are eye sores but to me they are fascinating, wondering what was there and what it was like. This photograph relates to chaos because there are weeds and rubbish all over the place which makes it chaotic and why I really like it which is why I have decided to shoot digital with inspiration from Tom Manley.
