Color can distract. That’s why some photographers choose to shoot in black and white. I’m not sure if this is the reason why Nicholas Alan Cope photographs architecture in black and white. But it sure makes you look at the things he wants you to see, the lines and compositions. The art of the streets. And in some photographs the black seems to fade. To show us a white pallet of lines and shadows. Almost neoplasticism like the works of painter Piet Mondriaan. Except of course, without the red, blue and yellow. Nicolas Alan Cope takes the seemingly ordinary and photographs it in such a way that perhaps makes you look differently the next time you visit the mall or park your car in those giant concrete parking garages.
