Keld Helmer-Peterson was a Danish photographer. He produced some of the influential work of the 20th century. Most of Helmer-Petersons work consists of two colours, black and white. These to colours are in contrast and create very abstract shapes. In the late 20th century he became interested in figurative shapes found in objects and architecture. In Helmer-Peterson a lot of very dark and very light tones can be seen with the white tones in the background and the black tones in the foreground. These tones also create a stark silhouette against the background that makes his images seem flat. He also uses lots of lines in his, these are quite abstract and give his images a strange composition.

In my response i tried to use photographs that contained quite abstract lines and shapes. I edited them to give a flat look that Helmer-Peterson captured in his work. Using photoshop to edit my images gave them the harsh, flat feel that Helmer-Peterson would create when editing his images.
