Ida Pap

I went to a talk by Ida Pap about ten days ago at the City and Cripplegate Photographic Society.  A young, and fairly new photographer, she has a fascinating take on Urban Landscapes, focussing on the minutae of the scene, or the mood, rather than record or achitectural photography.  Using light and reflections to create a very dramatic effect, and allowing light to become blown out, Ida creates photographs that are almost bewitching.  Until this talk, I hadn't really appreciated what the addition of a person (mostly in silhouette) adds to an image in creating tension and drama.

Very inspiring!
