Thomas Struth is a German photographer whose wide-ranging work includes depictions of detailed cityscapes, Asian jungles and family portraits. Thomas struth is one of Germany's most widely exhibited and collected fine art photographers.
In 1976, as part of a student exhibition at the Academy, Thomas Struth first showed a grid composed of 49 photographs taken from a centralized perspective on Düsseldorf’s streets, each of them obeying a strict logic of central symmetry. The compositions are simple and the photographs are neither staged nor digitally manipulated in post-production. Strong contrasts of light and shade are also avoided, Struth preferring the greyish, uninflected light of early morning. This serves to enhance the neutral treatment of the scenes
The thing I like about Thomas' images are that the way he can take photographs of buildings in such a way he always seems to make sure they look incredibly high, even if they were shot high up.
With this image he shows various different compositions in all of his images he takes. He can make sure the bottom of the image the ground looks texturized as much as the rest of the image does.
This image is likable to me because it almost gives you a sense it was taken with a fish eye lens. When I look at thisd picture I look at it in many ways rather than just once. I see it being a pile of trash and on the other hand I can see it looking like it was taken with a specific lens which draws the attention to the middle of the pile. I also like how the composition Colour is included in this image.
Thomas Struth has really captured the heart of the city in this image. I love the way he has taken this image capturing 4 separately different textures on each building which is different to every other building. The left one is squares in different shades of gry which show great contrast; the middle is lines across as stripes the middle is far away so distance is used in this image and roportion of the image and angle are used well in this image.
