Sunday: John Humble, City Landscapes






















Feautered in the fall edition of Photosgrapher's Forum, John Humble is a photographer from the LA area. Humble has a BA in philosiphy form the University of Maryland and his MFA from the San Fransisco Art Institute. He has shot everything form landscapes to magazine covers for clients such as Time, but I'm focusing on his cityscapes work.
The clarity and line found throughout Humble's work is achieved through the use of his 4x5 camera. (I wish I knew his scanning methods) Many of his images are shot at what appears to be high noon, yet the strong contrast and intense lighting situations seem to work with his composition; (I find my self fighting against the sunlight constantly).
Humble is represented by the Jan Kesner Gallery: http://jankesnergallery.com/jkg/
