The name of this art photograph is: 'Winter Camo'
Back to the minimalistic expression. I'm a big fan, and I especially respect Japanese minimalism. Sometimes, when an opportunity arises, I take the advantage and try to create a photo resembling it. When I saw this worn out traffic crossing in need of a reparation, I thought of a winter camo. No idea where that came from. Maybe from some film, I saw way back when. The human mind works that way, it flashes back something that one would never think of, consciously.
The light falling at a sharp angle does the magic here. It accentuates dark lines on the white areas and concentrates our attention to the middle of the frame. Please, turn your attention to the dark parts and notice their pointillistic structure. It defines them as the white part's counterpart. They are opposed both in structure and in tonality. Strong dynamics is achieved by the means of slanted angle and quite a precise composition keeping the perspective of the white areas as they flow into the distance. The foreign element, a metal plate on the fourth white line is a very welcome element. It is barely visible, at first, but it grounds the image into reality after a longer pervious look.
This is almost a black and white photograph but it only appears so. If you take a longer look, you will see that an additional level of stylization is achieved by light breaths of green and purple, especially in the bottom left quadrant.
Why the white camo? I got an impression that if one would like to hide anything in the forest full of snow this is exactly the manner in which I would suggest to paint it in! :)
Enjoy! :)
