- With this photo Andreas Gursky is using a very unique
angle to capture a vast amount of what the present world is made
up of. In other words, Andreas is showing the globalization of
technology and modern landscaping. This is why he has captured a
lot of lights, motor vehicles and buildings in this picture. The lighting
affects in this picture are very important because he wanted to show
modernism.

PERSONAL RESPONSE
His unique camera angles.
Doesn't create fictions but rather intensifies what already exists in the world.
His abstract way of thinking is interesting.
CONCLUSION
Andreas Gursky uses unique angles in his photos.
He takes photos of landscapes, but also uses his abstract mind in technologically editing real life photos into something he is trying to portray.
