Freedom

  • Photographer
    Dermot Russell, Ireland

A study of the World Trade Center buildings 1 (the Freedom tower)
and 7, with the wing of Calatrava's Oculus station in the
foreground. Taken with a tilt/shift lens to allow me to capture the
buildings in the correct vertical position, I wanted to create a
scene without any sign of the surroundings or ground visible, in
order to emphasise the way that these three structures collaborate
in this modern location. A collection of angles and curves, all
elegant architectural details.

As a software professional with a passion for both the artistic and the scientific worlds, I have in recent years channeled my creative interests into photography, focusing on black and white. I like to explore architecture, abstracts and landscapes, frequently utilising long exposures.
