Markus Jenemark is a photographer featured on lens
culture. I will be examining one body of work titled. “Haromkring”. Haromkring is
a Swedish word, and from what I understood has two neighboring translations in
English. One definition or translation of the word Haromkring is, ` around
here`, and the second translation is, ` in the vicinity`. So, with this translation in mind let us begin.
I enjoy the strong vertical lines in all the compositions. There is a very strong
contrast in all his shots in this series. The dark's or shadows are intense, but
the highlights that are in each shot balance the composition well. The photos have an old styled look to them,
plus, in some photos I sense that I am looking at a scene in the 1940s. Because
of the chiaroscuro lighting techniques there is a dramatic effect in each shot.
In addition, by using tenebrism Markus can single out what he wants one to focus
on in his photographs. I also enjoy the silhouettes that he captures in the
trees, atmospheric perspective, shallow depth of field as well as his deep
depth of field. I assume that Markus is
not using any special effects or lens toys that would alter the reality of his
subjects. So as a result, there is a simplicity (a purist) approach to his
craft. Markus can find everyday normal scenes and have them resonate with the observer.
He makes photos that connect with others in many ways. There is a nostalgic
vibe that I get when I am admiring the photographs of Markus Jenemark.
