Photographer #145: Ivo Mayr ~ Photography Imaging

Ivo Mayr, 1975, is a German photographer that plays with gravity and angles. In 2007 he made an artistic portrait of the city of Koblenz. He took the two most important things, the architecture and the people that live in it and combined the two together. He found the people in the streets and portrayed them detached from the ground, hanging and floating. He named the images Passanten, which means "Passers-Bye". In the series Leichtkraft he played with optical illusions and carefully chose his angles to make it seem that the portrayed are in impossible positions. The following images come from the series Passanten, Stadt Land Flucht and Leichtkraft.
