Italy Industrial

That slice/slab of orange is mouthwatering….Love the lighting as always.

Love it, Paul.
Great lines, colours, treatment. Has that distinct surreal look that you specialise in. And love the overgrown ‘barber pole’ ;)

Yes I see the pole, what a great pick up for the red on the main building. I like particularly what you’ve done with the grass here. The middish green, to the lighter green to the dry looking brownish ‘tough’ grass at the back. The grass is as industrial as everything else in this shot. You know ‘hard wearing-easy care-tough grass!’ In that sense it could be anywhere in the world. And the sky, it’s got so many colours in it. Your work is just so bloody good Paul!

beautiful work paul….. the red building is sublime in it’s fabricationalism…
i think i’m over tired.. that’s not even a real word… but the image is fab!!

Yes what they said! Took a moment to find the barber pole, was like a Where’s Wally pic for a moment, was stuck on the blue sign. Love the square frame

M A S T E R P I E C E ! ! ! ! This is one of your best IMO. The composition is insane.. right down to the red and white pole in the far distance.. Awesome stuff!! Can’t stop looking at this one!!

Good composition and I love the colours Paul.

awesome work paul… great balance between the red and green vs the neutrals…

The home of Futurism…

Excellent work. The colours blend beautifully against that grey green sky

wow, such a cool photo – love the bright red building

Paul….what can I say that hasn’t already been said?......well…orange – a gorgeous colour…this too reminds me of a ‘Magritte’....

really nice paul, the building is so vibrant

Stunning!! All the elements in this image work perfectly together…can’t stop looking at this one.

Fantatic. Love all those verticals and the red
background wall and stripe pole adds
great interest

You sound like me, heading off with camera early in the morning, leaving the sleeping partner and kids to enjoy their holiday inside a hotel room…...This strikes hard with the bright red building, but when you start studying the details, there’s just so much of interest! Of course that red and white pole is masterfully placed as well. I’ve always found the square format difficult, but this is just wonderful.

great work as usual Paul, I love that bright bright red of the building, it really brings the whole image alive

Hey!... it works just as well if you look at it side ways, or upside down….....easier with a laptop.
Colours to swim into, can you go back when there’s a blue sky and hard green lawns?, ....that’d work to. Make an interesting comparison.

Wonderful clean lines
the unmowed grass makes a nice contrast

love the shot Paul-well done.

I love the muted tones with the contrasting stark red – and all the straight lines – marvelous! Nicely done.

Another great piece with your signature style all over it…

Love the orange building,shot works well

bleak and beautiful at the same time. love it

great contrast, and I so love the red building, the stripped pole is a great added extra, well seen and shot Paul

WOW – thank you so much whomever purchaed a framed print of Italy Industrial – makes you feel so awesome that someone apprecites the work enough to put their stamp on it and go for it. Can’t tell you how happy that makes me. HUGE THANKS!

Great shot! just like a Jeffrey Smart painting :)

I agree. It’s a cross between Jeffrey Smart and David Hockney!

You bring the everyday to life. Your processing always add a touch of the surreal, love it.

Great capture… nice lead in and that red pops! Nice one!

Love the contrast of colours; has a very 50’s feel

really like the formality of this image.. quite surreal.
Re: “party” .. it was hell to light.. and not have shadows all over the model..good fun, though.. ta for commenting..

This stuff is simply beautiful Paul. Nice way to go changing from dreamy images to stark geometry with emotive colors

Kind regards

beauty

I really like this industrial environment

I’m convinced that you could make even dryer lint look fabulous.

!!

awesome
great colour contrast

wow Paul, this is a really rad shot.
if it wasnt red it would remind me more of something from 1984 movie..

stunning pic…

too jefferey smart

nice use of colors.

Great balance of weight and color. Crisp and clean with just enough mess of vegetation to cut the man-madeness of the scene. Your eye is unfallable.

Your photography is amazing! I love the atmosphere and simplicity in your work.

Know what you mean, and I also want glasses like yours!! ;)

You sure have the eye for such interesting and riviting images…..so inspiring!!!

Wonderful image. There’s a Mondrian aspect to it, albeit featuring more muted tones. I have it framed in my home.

Fantastic, I love your shots of industrial bareness, the perspective is nothing short of perfect and the use of the soft grey sky lines really brings out the magic happening in the foreground!

Love you signature style, Paul, you just know how to compose a scene for maximum impact – wham! :-)

Being something of an italianophile myself, I love how you’ve caught a scene that is so typical but so far removed from the usual churches/palazzi/gondola type images. A brilliant shot that definitely brings back memories.

The composition in your images is mindblowing.

Wow. This is exceptionally well balanced – just beautiful

Your photos have awesome clarity Paul!! Great composition, fatastic work!

Beautiful image Paul. Love this M:>

perfect

Amazing!

brilliant!

such an amazing mood you’ve captured in this… in all of your art… i truly admire your talent, paul…

Fantastic composer you are!!

wow…i love this one!!! and yes i know what you mean about just building a interesting piece of architecture in the middle of a dead end very narrow street with industrial and most of the time, public dumping ground!!....lol….thats italians for you!!! stylish in every sense!!
