Still Images

Michael Schmid, untitled, 2014
The photographs by Michael Schmid are masterfully composed images, which magnificently demonstrate the characteristics of the photographic medium. Using a formal, reduced visual language, he transforms three-dimensional objects into vexing surfaces and forms. He shows us the capabilities of the photographic apparatus; the precision of the vantage point makes the object its own abstraction.
