Translucence (Series)
DESCRIPTION
This is a series of abstract images of contemporary office buildings in London. I was drawn to the shiny and polished glass surfaces of each of the buildings and the way they reflected their surroundings.
AUTHOR
Katherine Young is a fine art photographer currently based in London.
As a self-taught photographer, Katherine began with travel photography, concentrating on urban landscapes and people, aiming to capture the essence of each of the places she has visited. Inspired by the contemporary architecture of Singapore, Katherine focused her attention on cityscapes and architecture, often using HDR photography to emphasise the vibrance and beauty of the city-state.
Katherine’s real passion is black-and-white photography as she feels that monochromatic images have a surreal and timeless quality which leaves a striking impact on the viewer. Without the distraction of colour, the photograph looks cleaner and reveals the very soul of the subject.
