Michael Rajkovic is a French photographer who was born in 1974. His topic of escapism has taken him all over the world and I am fascinated by his photographs as most of them involve water. He is known for having a classical representation of the world which is why he studies it through the art of escapist and surrealist photography.
Rajkovic's photographs tend to find their essence through ambiguity and they surprise and wonder the people that view them, he is able to transform the landscapes he studies and represent life and a reason to be. These landscapes are known for having a purpose which brings forth inner journey. The meaningfulness of the photographs creates an intense feeling when you look at them
This photograph is beautifully terrifying, the sunken boat representing so much darkness and the dark waters hiding all their secrets present fear. Rajkovic has used tone here to really develop these feelings
This photograph has so much depth to it but it has been done in an unusual way, Rajkovic has created depth by using leading lines of the bridge into the moutains. The reflection into the water is daunting, the water looks like a block solid and creates an atmosphere which is scary.
Again with this photograph the elements of depth and tone are prominent from first glance, the stance in which rajkovic has taken to take this photo makes this cove in the cliffs seem like a terrifying place to be, the darkness leading to the light however enhances hope for the viewer, the lines lead out to either side and make the eye focus on the pool of light in the centre.
This final photograph is slightly different, the rocks create a line through the photo side ways which makes you focus from small to big, almost like a journey from the dark moutains across the bay to the other side. The darkness of the photograph outshone by the bright message which says you can reach the otherside despite the struggle.
