i googled "abstract photographer", and found abstract photographer, ciro totku. totku is a russian photographer living in cambodia. i enjoyed totku's abstract photos in black and white, but i was most impressed with his color works.

this photo is entitled "garage". it's quite hard to tell what the subject of this photo is. the dust on the object gives the colors variation in saturation, which simulates a painting.

this photo is called "revenge". i assume the subject of this photo is a wall. the larger holes make the photo seem like it has a face. the smaller holes remind me of scales, or something lizardlike. along with its title, this photo almost becomes a narrative.

this photo is named "tin sky". from the title, the subject is presumably tin. the cream colors work harmoniously with the blue colors, and instead of a sky, remind me more of the sea. the pattern of the cracks in the paint seem to echo one another.

"the dirtiest places are the most inspiring." - a quote from totku in an interview with combodia daily on totku's website. totku also adds that he never uses photoshop, or any other similar programs.

when thinking about point of view, the first style of photography that comes to my mind is architectural photography. i think about the photos of monumental buildings that tower over the photographer and appear almost as if they could fall on top of them. i found a great japanese architectural photographer, kazuhiko kawahara, who digitally manipulates his images to create new architectural styles. his photos resemble a kaleidoscope.

this is an image of different roads and sides of buildings. the buildings could be old or new, but it seems like there is some kind of scaffolding in the middle of the street. this photo shows multiple perspectives, built from multiple photos. all streets seem to converge at the two black holes.

this image shows an ariel view of a city, contorted into multiple positions. it is the same perspective, given a different perspective each time the photo is rotated and manipulated. all roads seem to converge at the focal point of light.

this image shows the same view of a city skyline, twisted upside down and placed amongst different areas of the photo. the photo conveys a feeling of vertigo, because of the multiple edited perspectives.
