Artists Statement:

Harry Lieber is a mechanical engineer who resides in Germany.  Over the last ten years he has developed a passion for Architectural Photography. In particular, he enjoys photographing clear structures, shapes and lines. Modern architecture gives him the opportunity to search for and highlight these elements. He is especially fond of the architecture that has emerged over the last few decades.

                                                       MY PLAN
who: me
what: minimalist food photography
where: Oregon
when: Spring break

This theme is interesting to me because I really enjoyed the minimalist project we were assigned and I think that this is a great way to explore it in a new way. I love the bright colors and shapes that fruit and other food provide. I plan on photographing over spring break by cutting up fruits and just playing around while keeping a bright and minimal mood. I hope to learn more about minimalist photography and I anticipate the fun and creative arrangements that I will come up with by playing around with this.
