One of the things about the square format I find difficult is the sense of compositional challenge - without a long side to draw the eye, what do you do?
Superape has evidently overcome this challenge, as evidenced by this wonderful picture of a bike shop’s workbench. The strong diagonals in this, the wonderful red tones, as well as the authentic and textural clutter of the work surface made this one an instant favourite for me.
Check out the rest of his Rolleicord pictures for more quality.
That’s weird - looking at the picture it looks like it’s taller than it is wide (i.e. it gives the impression of being a ‘portrait’ orientation). Looking at the image details, I find that it’s actually 6 pixels wider than it is tall….
… A nice trick - and very nicely composed. Cool, thanks for that
