Research on Andreas Gursky Photography



Andreas Gursky is a German photographer and he is known for his large format architecture and landscape with color photographs. He often applies a high point of view to it. On of the perspectives in most of his photographs is drawn from elevated vantage point. Since the position allows the audience to encounter scenes and encompass with center and periphery at the same time, which are ordinarily beyond reach. Before the 1990s, Gursky didn’t digitally manipulate his images. Few years later, he decided to make use of computer software to edit and improve the quality of his picture. After that, he created an art of spaces, which is larger than the subjects photographed. Most of the journalists described his photographs as “vast”, “splashy”, “entertaining”, and “literally unbelievable”.
