Burtynsky


Burtynsky's work and style of art is very basic and quite simple in many aspects. Many of his pictures were just wide shots that had so much depth to it that it showed the reality of the industry he was shooting. A major key to his shots is the technicality of how he presents the setting. His shots are "glorious waste" and shows true beauty in the polluted resource areas around the world, as well as in the sweat shops. I am blown away with the depth of field and the color and lighting in the shots that he has. You can tell that his equipment is high-end and profession with the large format pictures he is able to take, but it is also takes a great eye and talent to separate the "Ok shots" with the "Great ones".
