Description
Gateway to Power is a minimalist black-and-white photograph of a high-voltage electrical transmission tower, photographed on Kodak T-Max 400 film with a Hasselblad 500 C/M medium-format camera. Set against a nearly featureless white sky, the steel lattice tower and suspended power lines are reduced to stark geometric forms, with the cables converging toward the centre of the composition like a gateway. The strong symmetry, expansive negative space and fine linear detail transform a piece of electrical infrastructure into an abstract architectural study. This medium-format film photograph combines minimalist photography, industrial landscape, power transmission infrastructure and geometric abstraction.
