Sets Part 1 : Analyse an artist and their work

• In what ways are your chosen artist’s photographs abstract?
  • The photographs showcase strong geometric shapes and lines; the complicated architecture changed into their most basic forms. The use of light and shadows creates dramatic contrast; the use of light emphasizes the texture and patterns, which allows the viewers to focus on the structure rather than the function.

• What do you like about the style? Be specific and explain your answer.
  • I like this style because it could evoke feelings of balance and harmony through simple shapes, lines, and structures, bringing the viewers into a deeper level of engaging with image composition. These images would showcase the beauty of design and encourage the audience to appreciate the artistry in architecture.

I chose this photographer because their focus on abstract architecture aligns with my vision of highlighting beauty in everyday structures. Their work encourages me to see architecture as art, emphasizing light, shape, and form rather than just functionality.

• Focus on Geometry: Look for strong lines and shapes in architectural elements.
• Experiment with Light: Use different lighting to create interesting shadows and highlights.
• Use Black and White: Capture images in monochrome to emphasize texture and form.
• Isolate Details: Frame specific parts of buildings to draw attention to their unique features.
• Depth of Field: Use focus to highlight subjects or keep everything sharp for context.

I am inspired by this artist to create outstanding photographs from everyday scenes. Their abstract style inspires me to experiment with different compositions and angles, helping in the development of my own architectural photography aesthetic.

I chose this image because it beautifully shows how light interacts with the architectural elements , creating a calm space.

What surprises me is how the light creates interesting patterns and shadows on the wood, making the simple design feel more dynamic and engaging.

Light is the most important element here. It highlights the textures of the wood and adds depth to the image. This play of light and shadow creates an emotional connection, making the space feel lively and inviting.
