Andreas Gursky is a German photographer artist known for his large format architecture and landscape colour photographs. Andreas never used to digitally operate his images before the 1990’s. Ever since, AndrĂ©a’s has been frank about using computers to work on his photos. Andrea’s photos are very straight forward, but also very puzzling and blank.
The view in many of Gursky’s photographs is drawn from an elevated vantage point. This position allows the viewer to encounter scenes, encompassing both centre and the outer limits, which are physically beyond reach. Before the 1990s, Gursky did not digitally manipulate his images. In the years gone, Gursky was never keen on computers to edit and enhance his pictures.
