Back in the days I began shooting with a DSLR, I have always placed a great emphasis on modern buildings such as skyscrapers, futuristic residential estates, contemporarily designed shopping malls, etc. In particular, I would shoot both details and entire figures black and white, possibly using very long shutter speed to create a distressing and abstract mood. I recently decided to bring colors back into my shots while cutting out all the unnecessary details that might distract from the core artistic message. Abstract Cities is a project I started in early 2016. Heavily inspired by minimalist photographers, abstract painters, and famous contemporary architects, all pictures in this series are buildings from all around the world, each one portrayed as an unidentifiable geometric object. that is, geometry characterizes much of these works: first, I seek ordinate patterns, complementary colors, straight lines, and sequences, then I suddenly break them by introducing some natural elements such as sky, clouds, and birds.
