Here's Alfred Freddy Krupa's photograph of an outdoor corridor. I love how it's a study in black and white, with subtle gradients and hard-edged forms. Imagine the photographer observing the corridor and how he might have been thinking about light, and how the source at the end is just bright enough to render a beautiful high-contrast composition. I really admire an artist's ability to capture the essence of their surroundings, and how they can suggest to us a feeling of urban exploration and curiosity with their choices. It makes me think about other urban photographers like Eugène Atget, who documented Paris in a similar way. These pictures seem to enter into an ongoing conversation, capturing similar scenes with very different sensibilities. They remind me that art-making is an act of embodied expression, where ambiguity and uncertainty coexist.
