The Hotel Hell- California Hotel

These Photos again were taken at the same abandoned location as the one below. This is my favourite photo I took on the day.
I tweaked the saturation and fiddled around with burning effects. I wanted to do this to give the pages of the phone books a burnt out feel. This also worked well with the wheel of the bicycles, lifting the colour and creating a more rusted look. Both the rusted wheel and the burnt books work together. The burning effects also worked on the painted lines on the asphalt. All these elements give the picture a burnt out and old junk feeling.
I also like this photo due to the composition of the books bringing you into the photograph.

The above photo was an outdoor shot of the Hotel Hell location where I did a shoot. Keeping in theme with my Urban Decay Project this location fits well.
I lifted the grass here. It fits well with my style of using stauration, solarizing and over exposure. I decided to saturate the grass to a lighter green and bring out the dead brown grass to lighter levels as it is quite dark in the original. I decide to do this as the grass becomes a colour you would see graffitied on the Hotel itself.
