GOING IN TO THE PICTURE author style : VANISHING POINT MONT SAINT MICHEL
In this first post we will analyze the internal impact of the picture VANISHING POINT: MONT SAINT MICHEL as Ignacio Calleja intended it to stand out.
THE CONTEXT:
in Architecture representation of Vanishing Points (Architectural drawing) we can distinguish three types. These types are characterized by the quantity of perspective points (1 point perspective, 2 point perspective & 3 point perspective). Do please make further research on this topic.
THE PICTURE:
This picture in particular is highlighted by Ignacio Calleja within his own work for several photographic accomplishments although the one that he makes most relevant is PRECISION:
the PERFORMANCE level of PRECISION by a hand held shot, that means without a tripod
The NATURAL LIGHTING of that precise spot from that precise perspective
The PRECISION on the EXPOSURE that enables the recognition of the architectural form
THE PICTURE in the CONTEXT:
Taking in consideration the Artistic and Technical performance of an accurate architectural drawing this picture in particular overwhelms in difficulty and pay’s a great compliment to the use of photography as a technology to represent reality. The quantity of diagonals, contrast, color differences by the lighting in the material and the position of pre-fabricated products (the benches & chair) in the perspective are to not say too many, we can state exquisite. To enhance contradiction everything in the picture is neither flat nor from a frontal perspective. This very contradiction is what ultimately highlights the artistic quality of this picture and the beautiful architecture it portrays of one of the most unique old structures in the world, Mont Saint Michelle in the region of Normandy, France. The technical photographic performance is just an other day at the office for Ignacio Calleja.
