I think that this is also one of my best responses because of how negative space is portrayed. The triangles in the individual photograph are mirrored in the reflection which shows continuity between the two. The detail captured on the building creates interesting patterns and I think that the photographs have been joined together neatly so that the reflection almost looks like its own singular image. EBI: To improve, I could photograph buildings with more colour to add to the character of the picture. |
Gilles Coulon is a contemporary artist who was born in 1966. He began his photography career in France, working for the French Daily Newspaper, Liberation. His series 'White Night' was first worked on during a Coulon's journey across West Africa in 2000. It started with a picture of a neon light in a market and then he decided to take the idea further. The fluorescent light became the main subject in all of his images, drawing attention to the objects hidden in the spotlight. Coulon's photographs allow us to become more aware of our everyday surrounding. They contain so much character, yet the dramatic contrast between the light and dark makes them seem isolated. I think that this is a very effective way of allowing the audience to be more involved with the meaning behind the photograph. |

When he was 9 years old, Georges Rousse received the legendary Kodak Brownie camera as a Christmas gift. Since then, the camera has never left his side. While attending medical school in Nice, he decided to study professional photography and printing techniques, then opened his own studio dedicated to architectural photography. Soon, his passion for the medium led to devote himself entirely to photography, following in the footsteps of such great American masters as Steichen, Stieglitz and Ansel Adams. In the series that I am responding to, you can see the extensive use of colour and how they all compliment each other. He also uses shapes within shapes to highlight the architecture and the impact of colour against the white background. |

Emil Hoppe was a German photographer and architect. He moved to London, which is where he found his passion for photography. He travelled the world, to Africa, New Zealand, Japan and more, in search for a variety of subjects for his photographs. In this process, he published a book called The Book Fair Women which included photographs of people from different backgrounds and cultures. At the age of 76, Hoppe sold five decades worth of work to the London Picture Library where his hard-work was stored privately for years, Eventually, his work was reunited with his family, finally gaining deserved recognition. Hoppe was a street, landscape and travel photographer. He focused on the undisrupted, everyday lives of others and photographed throughout the city of London, whilst also gathering inspiration for his own architecture. These photographs were often found in magazines, such as the Weekly Illustrated, for the public to see. |
