1. In this series, Jacqueline Hassink mostly shows us the beauty of nature with architecture. I'm sure she had the ISO set to the lowest it could go, and the aperture seems to vary between short distance and longer distance. In two of the three pictures, she captures the essence of color contrast. A deep green forest/garden with a bright red carpet placed just inside of the door captures your attention immediately. The third picture has subtle color contrast in it. The main subject of the third picture seems to be of the inside of the building, but really it's the color. There's a hint of the green bushes and trees contrasting against the red wood table.
2. Jacqueline Hassink merged Japan's unique architectural appeal with the landscape. Time spent over a decade, she photographed 34 locations in select temples out of 1,600. She chose the lens position to resemble one standing in the rooms, looking out into the garden. She played with the ridged, geometric lines of the house against the organic, free-flowing curves of the garden. She used the browns and whites, and some red, of the interior to compliment the bold greens of the exterior.
3. These photos are more than just of buildings and nature, they merged two worlds into one. They're simple, yet complex at the same time. Though there are bright colors in some, it's nothing over powering. I actually find these pictures to be relaxing and tranquil. The camera angles of the photos show great balance, both literally and figuratively. Of these three pictures, the composition of nature and architecture are balanced almost equally. Most importantly, the color balance, as well as light balance, are what give these photos the overall feeling of harmony and tranquility.
