Chrome Circle in Red Abstract Art to Buy. Red! I love the red in this photograph! The color red was absolutely the focus of my attention as I took this shot. I wanted to capture red in all its richness and glory. I wanted a thick, saturated, heavy red that would blast the viewer in the face. Art can never be ignored.

This is one of my favourite things to do with a camera: take an everyday object and photograph it in an interesting & striking way. I found this red fire box mounted on one of the car park walls beneath my apartment building. An object so common, you wouldn't give it a second glance. Take the photograph a certain way, and it becomes a silver disc floating in a sea of red!

The silver handle is massively important to the shot. Without contrast, the shot would run the risk of being ignored. I love the detail & texture of the metallic components. You can almost taste the metal, as you look it. As a filmmaker, I really struggled to frame circles (much to my frustration). However as a photographer, most of my best work features circles (to my great satisfaction).

I have this shot on my wall at home. It's arranged in a collection of identical prints of various sizes. Believe me the bigger it is, the more interesting it becomes. It takes the form of a heavy, industrial piece. A confident testament to engineering and craft delivered in a metal fist punch, gloved in boxing red. modern prints for sale, modern photography for sale, abstract art to buy, abstract art on sale, abstract artwork for sale, contemporary artwork for sale, buy modern art, abstract art for sale, buy abstract art, abstract pictures for sale
