Homework 5: Abstract Colour and Texture

Julian Schulze

Julian Schulze is a Berlin born and based minimalist Photographer who chooses to focus on geometric abstractions and minimalist compositions with high contrast and wide ranges of colour. His work is very expansive and eye catching ,consisting of architectural features of cityscape environments

His work ranges from everyday scenes taken from different perspectives to mind blowing pieces that play with your perception and that can really make you question what it is you are looking at.

Below are some examples of his work

I have decided to use Schulze as my inspiration due to his portrayal  of colour and shape in his works, as well as his ability to truly capture the imagination of his Audience.

Shooting

For my Julian Schulze inspired shoot, I decided to go to my local town area and identify buildings and scenes that I thought matched this criteria in terms of colour shape and texture. I photographed high rise office blocks and items in the street to try and truly emulate this style
