I really like the style of her photographs because what I personally love is urban landscape photography, especially at night because most cities like London, where Luxemburg takes her photos, are still very bright at night due to man made lighting. This photograph is called towering inferno and I like it because of the colours, the reds and orange lights makes it a much more fiery colour. Additionally I think that the background colour looks good in contrast, it is quite a warm yellow or green.

In my opinion I think that this photo, although it is quite simple, is very interesting, I like the colours because they are very warm, although from the place of the photo it is likely that it would be very cold. I also really like it because of the shadows, the shadows in this photograph are very dark and I think that this shows how eerie and creepy places in London can be at night.

This photograph is called vertiginous exhilaration and it is of a building taken from the top pointing down, I think that it looks really good because the colours look quite a lot colder than her other photographs, I also think that the colours go together well, yellow and green are quite similar.

I like this photograph because it shows a lot of darkness which I think can refer to her emotions when she took the photograph, we show emotions in a variety of ways, one of which is through our art. I like her style of photography because I think synthetic lights can sometimes look better than real lights.

Summary:

Rut Blees Luxemburg is a photographer who was originally from Germany, however her photography is mainly taken in London, she uses a slow shutter speed for some of her photographs which creates a really beautiful effect of the cars moving across the road without actually seeing the cars. 

Although she doesn't take environmental photography, I think that I would like to do photography in her style and I may do a shoot or two in this style as I think that it will look good, especially if I am looking at light pollution.
