Brit Warakomski - Andrew Borowiec's Provence



I really enjoyed Andrew Borowiec’s Provence exhibition at Sasha Wolf Gallery.  He perfectly captures the stillness and mood of solitude, just by taking photos of what is right in front of him. 

I had looked up some of his previous work, and found that a lot of it consists of daytime photographs documenting middle America. They are in stark contrast to the photographs in Provence.  I was especially impressed by the amount of sharp detail captured in the building’s texture, and each image uses a wide range of grays.









In response to his work, I attempted to photograph night scenes around rural sections of New Jersey.  It was a learning experience.  Stacking a pile of books as a replacement for a tripod will not give you the results you want, but I was working with what I had.
