urban dystopia II

What Lensculture had to say about Urban Dystopia (Revision):

“The photos remind of film noir movie stills. This light-dark diffusion on the streets and the way it interacts with subjects reminds of the characteristic lighting.”


“They are all urban settings and these, sometimes abstract, settings contribute to a feelings of isolation and being lost.“

“The natural lighting in the photos adds a sense of dramatic environments and emotional drama. The dark costuming, combined with active environments makes the photos appear very theatrical – a play of shadow and light. Together, the lights, dramatic shadows, and rich tonality serve to elicit emotional responses in the viewers. “

What the Institute of Photography had to say about Urban Dystopia (Revision):

"The sense of alienation and being trapped and swallowed up by their surroundings is well conveyed."
