Andreas Gursky is a German photographer, born in 1955. He not only uses his camera to capture these images, but he also uses computer programs to manipulate and enhance his photos. The photos he creates are often of the larger formats, which seem to be panoramic styles, showing landscapes and architecture. He does a great job choosing his settings, and the colors that are used throughout the image.
Although Gursky is known for creating art work that shows the dismantling effects of large architectures, and large spaces that may have many people, showing chaos, his style is pretty much straightforward. His perspective, which is consistent in all of his photos, is used to create this sense of confusion to the viewer of what they are looking at, is in fact, what they should be looking at. What isn't as straightforward as his photos, is Gursky's critical viewpoint on why he chooses to capture these industrial, capital settings.
