Honorable Mention
Facde of an office building
DESCRIPTION
Photograph taken as part of a minimalist and abstract approach to facades in urban architecture. AUTHOR
Formerly a freelance photographer and graphic designer, I now use the image for more personal purposes thanks to a photographer copyright status.My photographic approach revolves around the idea of the ordinary. For me, it is not a question of looking for the cliché, the extraordinary place which is sufficient in itself, but, on the contrary, of photographing everyday life, the environment that surrounds me, whether in an urban area or in nature.
My goal is to reveal a daily life that we only see for its utilitarian and not aesthetic value, and indeed without emotion.
The minimalist orientation allows me to maintain a line of thought, preferring to lead the reader towards an introspection of the building, place or object rather than an overview of them.
Man is hardly represented, favoring his works or the work of nature, even if it means sometimes bringing a ghostly atmosphere (Story - Near the night stop for example) or even scary. But we should rather see here the revelation of these common places which are intended for us, the paths that we take every day, the nature of "every day".
