Matthew Albanese's Work

 


Matthew Albanese

1983

Albanese Selected Works


What makes Matthew Albanese's work strong is simple "By manipulating the scale, lighting, depth of field, and color balance in each image, Albanese, as the New York Times wrote in 2011, has become “adept at coaxing humble materials into looking like something else”" (Benrubi Gallery).  Matthew Albanese's photography is surreal and just draws you in. The lighting does add an effect of peacefulness and it was just a matter of waiting for that perfect shot of the sunset/sunrise to get that reflection on the water, I definitely think he alternated the saturation of the photo to get that textured look.
