Johnny Kerr
Johnny cites his graphic design experience, along with his appreciation for minimalist and simple design, as having the largest influence on his vision as a fine art photographer. He has an interesting series of photographs which are close ups of buildings, looking at parts of buildings that are usually overlooked, and photographing them from unusual angles. Negative space features heavily in his work. |

“I’m particularly fascinated by the aesthetics of constructions and the details of their shapes. Every building has its own architectural language with a totally individual vocabulary. In all of these languages I look for the most beautiful letters and words. I abstract urban shapes and underline their clear forms and structures. In the end, I hope to model a new uniqueness of shapes with my pictures.” |

“Shooting spaces and architecture is an exciting place to be at the moment with all the brave, bold and inspiring architecture we’re creating on the planet. My top tip for beginner architectural photographers would be to try and approach it with a different eye. There doesn’t have to be a pure blue sky and you don’t have to show the whole building and don’t just stand and shoot from your head height; find different angles, times of day and be inventive and free with your image making." |
In preparation for Tuesday's lesson and for extra marks, take a set of photographs outside of school along the same theme.
See if you can take 10 or more photos of corners and curves on different architecture, focusing on close ups and different compositions. Upload them to your website under the title 'Going for gold: homework photoshoot' |
Bring your camera in for Tuesday's lesson.
Make sure you have charged your batteries and that you have your memory card with you! |
