{ famous photographer fridays 3.0 }

 

todays photographers were an old married couple by the names of Bernd & Hilla Becher.
the Bechers style is an industrial architecture type thing, taking pictures of different styles of the same thing for years at a time. something i find intersting about this photography is how some of their projects took 9 years to finish, i could never wait that long.  here is a piece of work by this married couple














Bernd & Hilla Becher had a lot of inspired people on their hands, but i enjoy Idris Khan's work alot.
Idris was so inspired by the Bechers that he decided to make some of their pieces into his own. to do this Idris took one of their complete projects (such as the one above^) and put them through photoshop and took each individual picture and put them into there own photoshop layer. creating cool photos!

here is one of his creations
