This image is part of a typology by German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski. The photographs depict individual dwellings on the brink of destruction, to make way for new developments. At the time, each partially demolished home was still inhabited. Bialobrzeski communicates this through his decision to photograph this typology at night, in order to capture the lights shining through the windows. In this particular image, the building's occupancy is also evident due to the figure that can be seen through the window and the bicycle parked outside. The series celebrates people's urge to cling onto their original homes.
The entire photograph appears to be in focus, meaning it has a relatively large depth of field and in turn a low aperture/high f number.
The image holds relevance to my surroundings brief in that I'm contemplating laying focus on derelict buildings within Leeds.
