What would the world look like from a camera’s point of view, where your task was to photograph beautifully abstract, delightfully minimal, almost surreal architecture? Probably something like this. Fullscreen, headphones or speakers, HD:
Alex’s piece puts the buildings and scenes in front of the camera and looks at the architecture itself as the art. Although the piece is often looking through a camera at cameras looking at scenes, each still frame of this entire piece could itself be a living-room-worthy frame-able photograph. His composition and color pallette is spot on and draws you in from the first shot to the last.
All pretty cool right. Ok, next amazing thing: none of it is real. That entire film, and everything in it, is full CG – from the buildings to the Eames chairs. So not only is Alex a compositional genius who seriously knows how to wield the power of a shallow depth of field, but he’s also not too shabby with the 3D rendering. There are a couple of “making of” videos on his vimeo page which are also worth checking out if you don’t believe me – which is totally acceptable.
