Hi Tes,

Per Bak Jensen is a fellow Dane! Very influential on contemporary Danish photography. I especially like some of his earlier work, such as the series "Den Gådefulde By" ( The Enigmatic City ).

Another Danish photographer worth looking at is Mads Gamdrup, who studied with Per Bak Jensen at the Art Academy in Copenhagen.

Best
Jan

I guess the list is long: Andreas Gursky, Jeff Wall, Gregory Crewson.....


I would be happy if anyone could add to the list.

Thanks

Nice work Thomas. Don't know what the sizes are but won't be surprised to see you soon or later in the hands of top galleries.(if not already the case).

nice series tho_mas
many thanks!

Roland Fisher
Fischer ... I assume?

Nice work Thomas. Don't know what the sizes are but won't be surprised to see you soon or later in the hands of top galleries.(if not already the case).
thanks a lot for the encouraging compliment! I have not yet seriously showed my works to gallerists (just some "tests" to evaluate general possibilities). I feel I first need a second series (so that there is a follow up... I think one exhibition is maybe not so hard, the second and third is much harder).
But I have time...
Prints are 120cm high.

This is getting even better than I have hoped for.

I am very happy to see fellow artist showing great personal work in this field.


Thomas - excellent work. I wonder if these are computer manipulated, please tell a little more about the work.
David - I would like to see more of your Recurrent memories work, but don’t seem to be able to locate the project on your site.
Adrian - excellent work. I am looking at all your images on your site. Really consistent good work, this is rare. Thanks for the other links.
Matthias - I really like your concrete and architectural work.

fredjean - Roland Fischer, I was only aware of his water portraits (almost like Roni Horn), but I will for sure look into his other work. Thanks

Cheers

thank you!
If "computer manipulated" refers to a kind of assemblage style (i.e. foreground, building and sky are assembled from different scenes or so) then no. Basically you could visit the sites and recognize the respective photographs (well, actually you can not - they do not look like that anymore as most subjects were shot in the construction phase of the buildings… but basically you could recognize them). Some include retouching, though. Of course most images contain selective curves and color edits (and distortion correction, naturally), but there are also some that are pretty much "out of camera" (so to say). A few images took me weeks, even months to capture … I visited the sites again and again but there was always something in the way (trucks, tractors or so. Boring light. Or even worse: a pitoresque sky… I generally do not shoot fleecy clouds and such… obviously).

Thomas Ruff (Everyone has already mentioned most members of the Dusseldorf school, but have left this one out.  Yes, his work is quite unlike the others but he has also done some "architectural"-related work.)

Armin Linke

Yang Yongliang

Leo Fabrizio (His Swiss Bunkers series is brilliant and beautiful.  I saw it exhibited a few years ago in Paris.  As with most things, you have to see the full-size prints in real-life to truly appreciate the work.)

There are many more, but my mind has gone blank ...

Just remembered ...

Donovan Wylie (Magnum – if that matters to you) for these two series:  "British Watchtower" and "The Maze".
http://www.steidlville.com/books/947-Maze.html
http://www.belfastexposed.org/exhibitions/index.php?show=past&year=2007&exhibition=45

Jan Kempenaers:  He documents former communist monuments in his "Spomenik: The End of History" series.

You may have noticed that I am a big fan of the Bechers' typological approach.

these are amazing!

Here's another one.
I love Carl de Keyzer's (of Magnum) ongoing project Moments before the flood, which is also in a kind of topographic, architectural spirit

Hi Tes,

For a 'Down Under' Photographer, check out Jon Gollings.
He does work as a 'Commercial' Photographer and is arguably the best in Australia, but has many personal projects in which he shoots built form.
He's actually a trained architect as an Architect in the 60's.
http://www.gollings.com.au/

Hope that helps.

Cheers
