These are the photos that caught my eye. Patszch has captured extreme detail in objects that have repetitive patterns; the snake has many scales, many petals, many tracks, intricate lines in the mushroom, columns of rock formed closely together. Some of his photographs are tricky to work out because they have been shot in macro; creating an abstract picture. I came across a cliff in Iceland on the black beach. The cliff had many repetitive shapes and symmetry naturally formed by the cooling of lava. This reminded me of Patszch’s photograph of rock columns This is a Glacier. The Glacier had many sharp and rigid edges that created many layers in each photograph and added shadows. Contrast in black and white shapes in the ice created extra depth These flowers have many folds in the petals; many shapes and shadows. There symmetry and complex shapes caught my eye – a close up of these pictures would create an abstract photograph Final edits
