Alexandre-luc

Alexandre, an architectural photographer from London, is inspired by a multitude of sources, ranging from the architectural patterns of buildings to the works of old masters of painting, films, and books. In his architectural photography, Alexandre is known for capturing the façades of buildings, focusing on the patterns they bear. His work is not just about creating stunning images but also about documenting the details of these structures, including the architect, the floor count, the date of construction, and the design factors referenced in it.. This meticulous approach to architectural photography is also seen in other photographers like Alexander Bogorodskiy, who believes in showing the scale, meaning, and aesthetics of architectural projects. Alexandre's exploration of art in multiple mediums is influenced by the works of old masters like Yenks, Picasso, Dali, and Rembrandt. He is also inspired by the works of Alexandre Cabanel, known for his sophisticated design and harmonious color, and Alexander Calder, who worked across multiple mediums and fused his interests in physics, astronomy, and kinetics into his art. Films from the 80s and 90s have a significant influence on Alexandre's work. Directors like Alexandre Aja and Alexandre Bustillo have been known to draw inspiration from this era, creating works that reflect the unique aesthetics and narratives of the time. Books from the 60s, such as "The Dice Man" and "Crash", also inspire Alexandre. This era was marked by a range of influential works that defined the decade, including "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "The Crying of Lot 49", and "Rosemary’s Baby". In summary, Alexandre's work is a rich tapestry of influences, drawing from architecture, classic art, film, and literature to create a unique and captivating body of work.
