Nick Frank works as a photographer in many different styles from cooperate photographer to industrial and architectural photography. Having a background in advertising as an art has provided Frank with a unique vantage point when it came to his current photography experiments. Having been born and grown up in Munich he remains based their, however often travelling all over the world to photograph. After spending 16 years in the advertising industry Frank switched to being a self taught professional photographer in 2014, still using his previous experience in advertising for branding, and industry for cooperate photography and his background with art for his love for architecture photography.

Photo Analysis

A particular type of his photography I like is his architecture photography, he works in a way that breaks things down to the basic yet still detailed, details. Frank’s photography is unusual as he points the camera up at whatever building he is capturing. This means the photo viewer is viewing a building in a way they would not normally. While he creates interesting photos they are simple, the uncommon angle gives enough interest to draw the viewer in. In fact, he simplifies his work more by removing the background, this would normally seem to make the photo too simple but in this case it adds interest. Forcing the viewer to look at buildings in a new light, paying attention to the details. By paying attention to the details the viewer will start to wonder what the photograph is saying. I like how effective the block coloured photos are and think a similar editing technique could be beneficial in my own work. In particular this project, having looked at something as complex as climate change and farming’s impact, some photos might be too busy for the viewer to be able to concentrate on the point. In turn I will try colour blocking technique and see if it helps.
