Basilico Emulation Second Draft
Here's the second draft of my series emulating the style of Italian architectural photographers Gabriele Basilico. Here I continued to focus on the usage of negative space in my composition, and using simple lighting and black and white to accentuate. This was also my first time shooting with a wide angle lens.

Eric, if I could describe you in one word it would be sly. I think you did an excellent job of capturing the Architecture in San Francisco, but creating a tone that feels as if I am in Italy. It reminds me a lot of The Godfather, when Michael is in exile in Italy.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job of utilizing leading lines and shapes to create diversity among these photos. Also, the photos with more negative space seem to have the best compositional movement. I would recommend following up with more use of negative space.
ReplyDeletei really like the way you used leading lines in all of your pictures. The geometry of building paired with that make each shot very impacting. I also think you can tell the difference of the wide lens and that it adds alot of complexity and depth to your series.
ReplyDeletenice photos. i really liked the different views and different style. I especially enjoy the second photo because the contrast is between the clouds and the building is perfect as well as the angle of the photo.
ReplyDeleteeric these are really awesome. like really good. not sure if theyre an improvement from before (i liked your first draft too) but it seems like a different style, or at least focus, both valid and good. keep it up big man
ReplyDeleteThis is a great continuation of Gabriele Basilico techniques and photographic approaches. You have really developed your work exploring negative space through contrasts in lighting. The focus on patterns and leading lines in architectural photography further demonstrates your understanding of Basilico's work.
ReplyDeleteI really love how you play with light and dark in these photos. You also succeeded in using and drawing the viewer's eyes to the negative space in the photos.
