The Klinger Factory

History

The Richard Klinger Factory in Sidcup was built in 1937 to manufacture engineering parts. Klinger is an Austrian manufacturer for valves and borosilicate gauge glasses.

The photographs that you see above are all from the Klinger Factory location. at this photo shoot I looked at the building as a whole as well as zooming/cropping in on certain aspects of it. I also looked at the surrounding area such as railings. I decided to put my images in black and white again as I like this style and also so you are not distracted by the colours.

The day I took these photos was cloudy and raining which therefore makes the images of the building look darker and contrast against the sky. I tried to experiment with different angles and perspectives as well as thinking about the rule of thirds, particularly with Figure 1. However, I feel I could improve by furthering my composition.

Figure 2 is my favourite photograph from this shoot as I like how clear it is and how you can see the details of the smashed windows and the different shapes that occur. I also like the contrast you get from the use of monochrome colours.
