Ilovethatphoto - Otto Kitchens

Otto Kitchens is a photographer for Atlanta, the work that he creates looks mostly at what we leave behind when we move on from place to place. Kitchens is mainly inspired by the world around us and not the people in the world. His work is more about what the people in the world leave. 
Kitchens works with many differernt forms of camera from DSLR, 35mm to Polaroid cameras. 

The work is often not perfect, Kitchens reasons for this is that life is not perfect so his pictures do not need to be. This concept is really very interesting, the idea of looking around abandoned buildings and photographing them to be perfect would be interesting but would they still have the same feel to them.
This images that I have used shows what Kitchens is try to achieve and what he has achieved, the images really give you the feeling that some one once was here, but now they have moved on. What I find really makes this image is the way that there is a very slight colour cast in the image of cyan making the image cold, but this works very well in getting the haunting feels across to the audience.  With the second image you can almost feel that presence of the many people that would have used these very seats. 

Decay is one of my interests to photograph, the idea of capturing something that has been left but did once have purpose or a memory. This work is such an inspiration to making more of my own work.
