Abstract Portrait of Architecture

Architecture is an art of geometry and an art of lines as well as planes and surfaces. All architecture has its own unique feature, shape, style and appearance. Architecture tends to be well decorated in the same way that people use make up and dress up for their beauty. Most people, however, easy to neglect the aesthetic aspect of the architecture, and just considering the architecture as a useful building, not an artwork. This is the reason why I have an interest in architecture, and I have chosen architecture as my subject in the same way that portrait photographer choose people. I want to express my concept and my point of view about aesthetics through these architectural photographs, and I want to re-create two dimensional artwork from the architect’s three dimensional artwork with my simple, abstract and graphic way of view. In two dimensional photograph, I have tried to capture the powerfully dynamic shapes of architecture and stylistic aspect as important details. These buildings that I took in photographs are pretty familiar to people who live in San Francisco, but the building in my photographs might be unfamiliar to them. I hope you can feel what I felt at those moment…
