Concrete Perspective

From up high, perspective changes everything. Standing atop the Spoorpark tower, I looked down and noticed how geometry and life align in the most unexpected ways. The pavement below—made up of large 4x6 meter concrete slabs—formed clean intersecting lines that seemed to guide movement through the frame. Then, almost perfectly on cue, a woman entered the scene from the lower right corner, her attention fixed on her phone.

Through the Canon 5D Mark IV paired with the Sigma 100–400, I framed the shot so that one diagonal ran straight toward her, while another crossed it, forming an “X” that almost marked her path. It’s fascinating how urban design, when viewed from above, becomes a study of pattern and rhythm—how our daily movements trace invisible geometries that we rarely notice from the ground.

From Altars to Alchemy: The Photography of Garin Horner - LENSCRATCH

In 2017, while I was in grad school preparing to graduate, I brought my portfolio to the Portfolio Throw Down at the National S.P.E. in Orlando.
