Lewis Baltz

Lewis Baltz is a photographer, well known for his great series of work 'The New Industrial Parks' and his kind of minimalistic photographs that we see in the trilogy Ronde de Nuit, Docile Bodies, and Politics of Bacteria. I first came across Lewis Baltz during my studies last year and have admired is work since.

I love his ability to find beauty in negative, stark and basic spaces. His bold approach to photographing spaces straight on is interesting, I love to see what he has decided to leave in the frame and equally what he has decided to crop out. Here are some of the images of his that I looked at in relation to my own project and research.
