Origional Shoot, Wellington Train Station

For my project i want to explore Wellington Train Station as a building and explore through my camera the emotions of the building. From my first shoot these are my three favourite shots:

The image of the pillars i wanted to show the size of the building as an extreme, the height of the building to look up at is very intimidating to me as a person, i felt very insignificant beside the great size of the pillars.

As i was walking toward the train station i realised people moved so quickly i was the only on taking time to look at the building, this is why i chose to document the image of the front of the building, to show what people never bothered to pay attention to.

The interior image i also wanted to show how the building in all its beauty is forgotten by everything busy around it. the sheer height of this roof space also enforced the feeling of how insignificant i was in such a significant place, so many people pass through this space in a day but how many people actually stop to take notice of the surroundings?

I believe this image is very significant in documenting how people lived it 1935 during the great depression. It also to me shows how insignificant a person was during this period of time, the women within the photo blends into the rubble surrounding her which is meant to be her home. The image also highly shows the poverty people had to live through during this time.
