Ed Freeman
Desert Realty series
Ed Freeman is great photographer with a diverse range works that include nudes, surfers, underwater captures and reflections on architecture. In my research file I have included the photos that first drew my attention to Freeman; which are part of his Desert Realty body of work.
Desert Realty is a compilation of digitally enhanced photographs of buildings in locations that scatter across small towns and deserts of Southern California.
These buildings look like they would be worn out and lonely in reality but Freedman shows us something else in these locations. There is a sense of serenity in the solitude in which this photographer presents these highway stop overs. I think that the light is particularly effective in creating a painterly effect and giving new life to these crusty old buildings. Dreamy skies take me to the most romantic times of day and I want to be in these photos.
The framing is really great, shot from a distance these highway stop overs are presented as portraits that have character. The line of the horizon seems to always be in a similar position, the top two thirds of the image is designated for beautifully unreal skies. I find myself curios about these places.
