Justin Lowe Is Dead On
Dec 3, 2007
Hailing from the South towns and now a fixture here in the city, photographer friend, Justin Lowe has decided to also grace our site with his presence.
Justin isn’t your average ho-hum photographer; first of all, he sports a scaly cap. Secondly, his work screams Eastern Block bred. It forgoes the color indulgence and the sunshine feelings. Mostly captured in black and white, clearly, he has a fascination with motion, or lack thereof. With death and divinity. His angles are original, carefully determined and compositionally correct. Light illuminates the subjects from unseen sources and casts shadows on the lesser matter.
I suppose that it’s the texture that grips me. The balance of the feathery bird head atop pebbles and rocks, the injustice of hard bed as a transition to the next form of existence, created a sort of panic within me. Almost like I wanted to scoop him and place him on a bed of grass, until I realized that he was lifeless, that his body was merely a shell – even though his eyes said otherwise. Justin has a knack for this sort of contrast.
Justin Lowe has also produced a short film for Buffalo’s 48 Hour Film Festival which took place this past summer, and works daily as a designer.
