RUPERT VANDERVELL is based in London. He is a self taught photographer.
He has always been obsessed with clean lines and the geometrical appearance of things and his photography is highly representative of his personality. Rupert expresses that he "find[s] beauty not necessarily in the subject itself but in the space that surrounds it." Decoration in his images come from the play of light, shadow, form and texture. Through the use of black and white, Vandervell captures life on the streets and shows the emotional and creative sides to his character.

I have chosen to explore Rupert Vandervell's work as I like the tonal values and the angular compositional layouts that create depth with every image.
Additionally, I like concept of not knowing who are in the pictures, where they are going, and why. I feel this impression gives a captivating essence and causes the audience wanting to know more. I feel compliments the title of 'Unexpected Perspectives' fairly well as the photographs are 'unexpected' and a one time thing. I like that Vandervell's images are minimalistic through the combination of the simplistic backgrounds and the singular figures among them.
I am going to try to execute this style of photography within my investigation to the question "Unexpected Perspectives".
