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.
