Inaki Bergera

Not sure where I came across the below photograph by Inaki Bergera, but it kind of took my breath away.

There is an amazing balance to the shot. A strong horizontal line, stopped in it's tracks by a small precise vertical and a number of glorious sweeping curves. And the tones are really muted which add to the coolness and isolated feeling of the shot.

I took a look at Inaki's website (http://www.bergeraphoto.com/). He's very prolific and has a large number of series, all with a graphical architectural bent. I've included a few below which I liked and think are most relevant to this part of the course.

The diagonal lines have great movement here. The rectangle of the building is presented at an angle which create even more diagonals.

More diagonals this time - but these intersect and link with the horizon to create an implied triangle. The stop sign provides a nice regular shape as well  - the fact that it says "stop" also catches the eye.

This shot is wonderful selection of lines - horizontals, verticals, diagonals.

One big curve which is pierced by a triangle.

The rectangles and the perspective this creates kind of imply a diagonal line. And there are also implied triangles on the left. The bricks also provide a very dense pattern.

A very obvious, bold circle here, with a delicate patter underneath it.
