Christopher James Grainger's photostream

I'm a young chap in North London experimenting with photography.

I use an iPhone 3G and the Camerbag app as a means to take interesting photographs of the city I live in.

I am interested in; geometry, constructivism, illusions, symmetry, asymmetry, tessellation, shadow, light, urban, line, angles, textures, dirt, surfaces, shape, architecture, concrete, bleakness, solidness, obscurity, sharpness, spacial design, glass, dystopia, pattern and simplicity.

My work is simple. It is brutalist. It is bleak, barren and harsh with very little use of bright colour. I take obvious, mundane items that we encounter daily and try to show them in an interesting and abstracted way.

My work is inspired by the work and theories of Aleksandr Rodchenko on Communist/Constructivist Art between 1919 and 1921.
