Transport: A Junior Conceptual Transport Project by Nevo Shaked (2017)

The assignment was to shoot a motor-less vehicle from an unusual angle and then from what we learned in class, edit it in Adobe Photoshop. The object in my photo is a bicycle and a string lock. I chose the placement to be outside my house, in the front yard. I decided to shoot the angle from an interesting viewpoint, and not to make it boring. I chose a bike because that was the only non-engined vehicle that I have, but I also have an interesting metaphor for the photo. The metaphor was to show that even if you are part of a group, it doesn’t mean you belong to that group. We can see that the bike and the helmet are black and white, but the lock is extremely red. That shows the point of view of the lock’s frustration, and makes him feel sad about his surroundings.

On Photoshop, I made a selection of the lock, that created a new layer, and made the background black and white, except the lock. The lock initially was black, so I decided to make it a different color. I decided to make it red to show the lock’s frustration. I learned in Photoshop how to make a selection, play with filters and use tools. I used these techniques that I had learned to change the colors of the lock and the background.
