Weekly Artist Post - Devin Escalante



1.  In this series Structures by Paul Hillier, he really wanted to showcase the beauty of building and structures and how they now just a normal part of every day life.  For the photos taken outdoors and at night, Paul most likely used a long shutter speed to capture all those bright lights, a large aperture to ensure good exposure of the buildings and a large ISO since he probably used no flash.  For the indoor ones, he probably used a quick shutter speed, smaller aperture and a low ISO since all these modern building provide excellent lighting for what he is trying to shoot.

2.  His thematic intent in this series is to obviously showcase structures and buildings in different cities and locations.  The outdoor shots show how alive the cities really are at night and that at ay given time there will be some kind of liveliness going on.  And for the indoor photos, a very crisp and clean structure of all the lines that make up the skeleton of the buildings we see in the outdoor pictures.

3.  I really enjoy Paul's photos in this series, I'm usually drawn to long exposures and cityscapes just because of the magnificence that humans built these giant skyscrapers, but also how much the lights at night really bring out how pretty our world is at night.
