Look at that Horizon Line

0 Comments Stefan Giftthaler




I want to encourage everyone to go look at the photography of Stefan Giftthaler. This is the kind of photographer that covers the spectrum; he can shoot the client-driven fashion photography with the best of them, and he can turn a full 180 and explore new angles of photography to satisfy a more abstract, experimental side of things. I am impressed by the confidence that surrounds the imagery that Giftthaler manages to produce, as if a shaky hand or a dirty lens is all part of the performance.

This photography speaks volumes to me. It is exactly what I find charming about an art that I have yet to fully appreciate. Also, I would go so far as to suggest much of Giftthaler’s portraiture and fashion work comes with a remarkable resemblance to the timeless work of Richard Avedon. It’s a softspoken, modest approach to photography and story telling that is worth much applause.

The triangular patterns created in these ceiling lights are lovely! I could spend some time with this… a tasty bit of geometric design inspiration.

First time ever in an Old Navy, I come to find out the mannequins from the hilarious commercials are real! A pleasant surprise.

Home Depot sign in the paint department. The details escape this photo, but I enjoyed the overlapping color and subtle nuances in the large numbers.

Believe it or not, these windows are a recent addition to a nearby McDonalds. I would normally walk right by, however I think there is something to be said for the arch-inspired stained glass pattern.

My office view of the Chicago River, during the Winter. All the broken-up ice in the water is sort of gorgeous!
