This is another photographer that was shown. Her type of photography is old abandoned places. Not many people pay attention to or give concern to the old buildings other than people tagging it with spray paint or damaging it even more. Westerhout really gives attention to the old abandoned buildings. She thinks that the light totally differs from a new still in use building. I think the light really reflects the old decaying wall. It gives it really good natural old look to it. Her photos tend to be clean instead of a lot of mess around it which enhances the picture.
There are a few differences on Westerhout and Burtynskys style of art. Burtynsky tends to add trash or add mess to make his art look good. Westerhout tends to keep it clean so that nothing is interfering or disturbing the clean picture. Both photographic styles are really unique but are also really good. I lean more towards the one with trash because you can move around the trash to make look a certain way. With Westerhout you have to wait for the right time to take the picture and the right type of lighting. But when timed perfect the picture can look really good.
