AC: Rut Blees Luxemburg

26 / 365
Welcome to AC#46, here's what @rich_t had to say
Thanks to everyone who took the time to put in suggestions for the next Artist Challenge. I will compile a list so we have an alternative option if any future AC winner wishes to refer to it. However, in the end I decide to choose the German photographer Rut Blees Luxemburg after receiving a fantastic book for Christmas called ''Vitamin Ph: New Perspectives in Photography''.

To any newbies reading this, the artist challenge is where we try to emulate or get inspired by a specific artist, either photographic or not. The photos produced can reference or even recreate works by the artist or simply be created in the style of or even via the influence of the artist.

''Her technique is to take photographs at night, mostly exploring the urban landscape...She employs long exposures to allows her to use the light emanating from the street only, for instance from office blocks or street lights in her photos''

She likes to use the night light of urban spaces and work in colour.

The Streets debut album 'Original Pirate Material' used one of her shots of a council block lit up at night, which is the image provided with this post

You can check out her work here http://www.photoforager.com/archives/rut-blees-luxemburg

I know a lot of people on here don't live in the city but there's an abstract nature to her work which could make it possible to have a go.

So the challenge will from tonight to next Wednesday 16th 10am (UK time). Please tag entries ac-luxemburg

@theartistchallenge not sure who started this album but it would be a wonderful thing to keep it going. Any chance someone can add photos?
