Orjan Henriksson

Came across Orjan Henriksson on Lens Culture (http://www.lensculture.com/henriksson?thisPic=1). There is a simplicity to his work which often borders on abstraction. Bold shapes which are formed from shadows are placed into discreet, defined compositions. And all his photos are in a square crop - which just seems to emphasise the simple geometric nature of the shots.

I love these because they're so "all around us". It's not compelling because it's unique, or because it's otherworldly, or alien, or just weird, but because it's so normal and everyday.
