Artist Statement
This is the first series many based on the photography of Dirk Bakker, a famous Dutch architecture photographer. He is well known for his symmetrical images that often include elements of repetition, are square-shaped and usually do not include depth. To create images that evoked these elements, I had to walk around and take pictures of parts of buildings that were symmetrical, this usually meant images of windows and walls. In order to capture these parts of buildings without showing any element of depth, I had to make sure that the frame of the camera was at or very near to perpendicular to the subject. To further make my images more similar to his style, I cropped each photograph into a square and positioned the limits of the crop to only focus on the symmetrical aspects of each image. This process allowed me to create a good first step in this project. For the next series, I would like to capture more images of larger buildings or of parts of buildings that have a more aligned perspective.
These pictures are interesting and I like the details. I think a few of them don't completely follow your pattern, like the staircase and shadow of the tree.
ReplyDeletethese are really unique, but i think you need to make it more clear whether you're focusing on shadows of the buildings because picture 5 confused me because it didnt seem to fit
ReplyDeletegood job maybe try a simple edit to each photo
ReplyDeleteI like the occurring pattern of the scatter and normally arrange lines
ReplyDeleteevery week you amaze me with how flawless your pictures are but the picture of the SFWD water thing is not as symmetrical as the rest and is out of place although its still a great image.
ReplyDeleteI like how simple the photos are.
ReplyDeleteI like the geometric patterns in these, but maybe have more variation.
