Sometimes a novel perspective or different perception changes your focus and makes you think. u/earthmoonsun

I always like learning something new. u/earthmoonsun is one of the most prolific contributors on r/Sizz, and I’m always impressed with his insights into the craft of photography.

So I thought I’d invite him onto the blog to share his own work. What I found is a fun eclecticism that is adventurous. u/earthmoonsun has a way with taking common subjects — things you’d dismiss if you were in too much of a hurry — and turning them on their heads.

Instead of analyzing his works, I’ll let him explain them in his own words:

MatrixCat

“Digital cat hunting in the static noise of the matrix.”

Moon Pond

“Edward Steichen is one of my favorite photographers. His photos are like paintings. They capture a very special mood – a mix of dark secrets, melancholia and mystery. A few weeks ago, I passed by a fish pond reflecting the full moon. The whole scene had a similar atmosphere like I feel when I see photographs by Steichen. For comparison, Steichen’s work The Pond—Moonlight.”

TokyoSkytree

“An ocean of concrete until the horizon. Millions of humans inventing, producing, delivering products and services worth billions. Every day. Looking at this from 600m high artificial structure is on one hand impressive and fascinating, on the other hand dystopian and far away from nature – where we come from.”

Firework

“Common firework footage is boring. The explosion of flashy colors are just superficial fun. Lasting only seconds. But when I turned it into a black and white/high contrast image of a firework, I start to notice more details and makes me fantasize. Could the image be a palm tree, too, what about that dot in the middle, why are some lines straight and some curved, and so on. Not really deep, either, but I found it interesting that an unusual depiction of smth, changes your way of thinking. Sometimes, a novel perspective or different perception, changes your focus and makes you think.”

Nightclouds

“Just before the night approaches. Love how this image represents the powerful forces of nature and how it anticipates the incoming darkness.”

Cemetery

“I tried to capture the sadness, memories, and tears that were cried at this place.”

Dune

“Sharp grass that easily can cut in your skin while it’s elegantly waving in the wind, like the femmes fatal in noir movies.”
