Serge Najjar project The Architecture of Light takes a city and looks at it on a whole new perspective. Najjar is a photographer from Lebanon who looks at things in a view point I have never seen before. In this particular project Najjar uses a Zeiss camera that used to be his dads.
The way the light and shapes literally dance across the images makes the stationary image come to life. Najjar's image reminds me of the images that were made by Henri Cartier-Bresson. His decisive moment pictures caught people right in the middle of what they were doing and articulating his pictures in such a way that the composition was brilliant.
For example:
I would love to be able to see the way Najjar sees the world. His eye for catching light and contrast and composition leaves me in awe. Something that I love is his bio on his instagram that says, "it's not about what you see but how you see it." I have been inspired by his works. I see in everything that he has photographed that he does not just take the photo but he makes it. He does this by looking for how the light will make the composition not just the objects in the light.
