John Balsom, Photographer, London

Description

This stark black and white architectural photograph by John Balsom features a modernist concrete diving platform captured from a low angle. The composition emphasizes the sharp, geometric lines of the multi-level platforms, angular staircases, and thin metal railings. The heavy contrast creates deep silhouettes against a pale, bright sky background. Visible film borders and emulsion marks frame the shot, lending a tactile, analogue quality to the image. The clean framing highlights the brutalist architectural forms of the structure.
