Artist Challenge- Hiroshi Sugimoto by olivetreeann

Artist Challenge- Hiroshi Sugimoto

Hiroshi Sugimoto purposely takes his architectural shots out of focus. He believes this way of capturing the structure gives us the feeling of the building as it was first seen in the mind of the architect. I liked the addition of the tree next to my chimney. In a sense, the tree is its own architect, reaching to the sky.
How interesting! You learn something new every day. You did a great job! Love it.

@espyetta Thank you Marybeth! I've been thinking of you lately with that scandal in Atlanta (of course I know it didn't involve your school but it must have hit home as it was so close!).

That is really cool - and the tree certainly adds some context and texture

@lsanderson55 Thank you Leigh-Ann!
@maggiemae Thank you Maggie! I'm not crazy about the blur either but it was fun to mimic his style.
@annied Thank you Annie!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@tabarlett Thank you Tammy!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole!
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian!
@taffy Thank you Taffy! I'm sure there are a number of buildings in Chicago that his style would work well with. Looking forward to seeing what you do!
@aikimomm Thank you Phoebe! I had to work with what was available on this one since I'm not out and about this week like I was last week.
@pistache Thank you Clare!
@thistle Thank you Joyce!
@pammerritt Thanks Pam!
@susale Thank you Suse! It is not how I usually see or shoot architecture, but it was interesting to try and mimic his style.
@francoise Thank you Francoise! I know what you mean. I was not really drawn to his work, but the architectural shots were the most interesting to me. I did like his concept of trying to capture how the architect first sees the building in his mind.
@pyrrhula Thank you Pyrrhula! I felt some of his theories were a little like the saying "art for art's sake", but this one was interesting in that it was a way to capture what role imagination has in the process of creating.

A great shot for the challenge

this is a beautiful shot, really like what you did here with the artist challenge! and thanks for explaining how the artist works and why he does certain things!
April 16th, 2015  
Super for the artist challenge. I have an idea or two, now I must just put them into practice!

@adayinmallacoota Thank you Belinda!
@nicoleterheide Thank you Nicole! It is very interesting to go to his website and read his explanations. I don't agree with some of his views, but this one I found very interesting as it deals with imagination and the creative process.
@salza Thank you Sally! Most of his work was such that I would not be able to copy it. But his architecture shots I could manage. Looking forward to seeing yours!
