I was scanning for some reference shots I could use and came across a site called 500px.com. For anyone unfamiliar with this site, it’s a great source of inspiration. Photographers from around the world upload their work, I think cropping them to 500px. I was first drawn to Konstantin’s profile by his ‘Dancing Among’ photograph. After exploring the rest of his collection, I had found 18 shots that I now had to arrange for today’s post.
When I look at his shots, I feel a sense of isolation in the mass. Konstantin combines many elements to create a sense of desolation. Most photos are of an isolated person or a mass of people walking in formation. The grainy film gives off an imperfect quality to the shots. The scenery is always at night with low light in the middle of snowstorm. In a world without any light, sun or colour: there would be no life. And in this world, the life that does exist is either suffering, or are drones marching in formation.
