Discover the power of industrial revolution captured in one image. In this picture, an imposing machine adorns an old stamped Siemens logo, a tribute to the historic evolution of technology and industry.
My inspiration for this work comes from my fascination with the industrial world and its immense impact on our society. For me, the image of this machine, with its weathered logo and robust look, symbolises the power and progress that industry has brought.
The atmosphere I try to portray is tough, industrial and raw. The machine's rough textures, powerful lines and weathered character evoke a sense of authenticity and perseverance, immersing the viewer in the world of the industrial revolution.
Using a large aperture, I played with depth-of-field, bringing certain parts of the machine into sharp focus while blurring others, creating a dynamic and playful effect that emphasises the power of the machine.
This work is not only a visual statement, but also a tribute to the industrial revolution and the power of technology. It is a unique addition to any space, where it brings an atmosphere of rugged authenticity and industrial sophistication.
