These are images I found on the internet , the reason I picked these photos was because I know of places in Bradford that I could use to take similar images or my own with aspects of these photographs included. All these images are taken from a low angle look up towards the desired subject in the image. What also is shown in all these photos is that the object in the center has lines leading out of the image as all the objects , which include stairs , glass and the building itself, have been cropped and is not all in the photograph. This effect creates the illusion of a pattern and a series of lines , which allows the buildings to be showcased in a creative way which makes them appealing to the viewers.
Alexander Jacques is an abstract photographer and mainly shoots in New York and creates photographs that make the building look like its one pattern and this covers the entire image. The color blue is used a lot in his work, he also uses the light to highlight the building to make it eye catching and appealing. While in New York he spent days looking up to the sky as he was surrounded by patterns, created by the architecture, as he was more interested in the buildings and lines they had. Another reason he started to photograph buildings is because he believed that everyday people pass the buildings without glancing up, because either we ignore them or think there plain and ugly. With each of his photographs he tries to create a pattern that tricks the viewer to not think the subject is a building, as he wants the audience to see the pattern when they look at the photo. His central aim is to create a new perspective on the ordinary.
