Post-apocalyptic Dubai by Richard Allenby-Pratt

OBVIOUSLY I cannot do this, I can imagine that the people at the Zoo would be impressed if i asked them to borrow a giraffe, a zebra and an elephant for a photo shoot, but nevertheless, these photographs have influenced me regarding my In The City assignment.

These photographs show wild animals roaming the empty streets of one of the most active cities in the world. These photographs are somewhat creepy, yet so meaningful as a photo set. I think that Richard Allenby-Pratt has wanted to convey a sense of loneliness that these animals are feeling, although they are often alone in the environment, they are completely alone in the world here.

These photographs relate to my intentions, because of me wanting to capture an almost empty cityscape, with the odd model in the background or foreground. His photographs have influenced me by use of colour and location, but also the concept.
