Research: Landscape Photography
Andreas Gursky




Andreas Gursky is an  known German visual architecture and landscape for his large format. Gursky is drawn to large man made spaces, office lobbies, stock exchangers and the big retailers.  Andreas was strongly influenced by Bernd Becher, a photographic team known for their distinctive, objective method of cataloguing industry machinery and architecture. Other influences are the British landscaper John Davies that has a highly detailed vantage point with strong effect on street photographs. Gursky's is characterised by the tension between clarity and recognised nature and the meaning they present.
