Yuri
Thank you for stopping by and till very soon
Mostly I wanted to make this blog post a little different and have fun really. We take ourselves too seriously too often 🙂
Well, I picked these 3 shots from my trip to Arles and flipped them. Do they work upside down or not? You decide…
Of course I also have to mention the great Henri Cartier-Bresson whose golden rule for good composition was to turn the image upside down. This way our eyes perceive only the shapes, turning the subject matter into an abstract – if it looks good and has balance, it will work the right way up.
The post was also inspired by the brilliant book “Failed it” by Erik Kessels, I would absolutely recommend it for all of you creative people. Actually, yesterday I travelled to Arles where the annual photography festival takes place and “Perfect Imperfections” organised by Kessels was one of the many exhibitions there.
Hi guys. This post is going to be a bit unusual so please bare with me 🙂 Don’t know if it will work or not, you decide.
the last one is working for me very well 🙂
cheers Victor!
cheers Victor! thanks for the feedback 🙂
The second one if cropped from the top as square, and the third one works great as it is. Nice idea Yuri…
thanks for your comment Robert, appreciate it
Thank you too…
Interesting idea Yuri, I quite like the lamppost in the top pic for some reason. Upside down it just attracts my eye. I agree about the third being the strongest.
Thanks for checking this out Chris
Works!
Gives a whole new perspective… well, of course. Makes you really look at the scene and try to understand it!
Thanks Frank. I think it works well with geometrically well composed images, however in other instances I have a doubt… might try later 🙂
