At work we have the pleasure of being surrounded with contemporary artworks which are placed in the hallways. Most of it is contemporary in the sense of ‘I could do that’ but a few are truly amazing. Axel Hütte’s large format photo prints called ‘Explorer Glacier Alaska’ are worth a look every time I pass by them. I couldn’t find any digital versions but they fit in perfectly with the rest of his work of which a few examples above.
I love the way he uses the fog as a natural backdrop in almost every piece. Nature’s negative space really brings out the essence of what he wants to show through the lens by filtering the unnecessary surroundings. It reminds a little of Kim Höltermand’s work although in this case the orientation is kept more horizontally instead of Kim’s focus on the sky.
