Kellner's’ work imitates the wandering look of the eye, showing us segments of the total which come together as one image. Therefore his photographs do not necessarily deconstruct architecture but instead reconstruct our view of it. His work offers an alternative view of famous landmarks, one that intends to question our thoughts on how we visually process them and develop a sense of place.
Kellner uses the traditional process of film photography to create montages. Using just one roll of film, Kellner often takes images of the same landmarks or buildings of significance from different angles to later re-arrange them on a contact sheet and create a unique composition. |

Ms. Hayashi, who lives in Tokyo, presents photographs of herself looking light as air, shot mostly around the city. The images have earned her a respectable following on her blog.
Natsumi Hayashi does not call the photos she posts on Yowa Yowa camera woman diary. “jump shots.” A jump, she says, is composed of many movements. And those who go up must come down. Levitation photos are supposed to emphasize the natural flow of time. She usually shoots with a shutter speed of 1/500th of a second or faster. A crowded scene is more difficult to shoot, because the people in the background have to look as if they’re going about their business. The pose, too, is important. A position that feels right may not mesh well with the environment. “I must be aware of the shapes of my arms and legs and make slight adjustments in every jump,” she said. Yowayowa Camera Woman looks as if she’s doing a slow, lyrical dance through the air. The more complicated the pose appears, the less inclined a viewer will be to anticipate a landing. Ms. Hayashi holds her head high, averting her eyes from her landing point. She releases her muscles. She points the soles of her feet to the sky. |
Rut Blees Luxemburg (born 1967) is a German-born British photographer. Her technique is to take photographs at night, mostly exploring the urban landscape. She is a Tutor at the Royal college of Art.
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. Luxemburg created a series of images for the London Underground in 2007. Many of her photographs and prints deal with nocturnal themes. Having grown up in the German countryside, the photographer was immediately drawn to the fragments of modernity in the city. For Luxemburg, this was epitomised in the high-rise housing estates of London’s East End and the urban ‘autobahn’, the Westway, which she perceived as symbolic of both the tension and potential latent in the evolving cityscape. “I sensed that modern artifices were being scapegoated as dystopian,” she says, “and became interested in capturing the complex energy, exuberance and promise that these urban spaces held.”
