You hardly realise you are looking at images of our world when gazing upon Alex MacLean's aerial photographs.
These are not simply "photos from the air" like the ones often produced by run-of-the-mill commercial photographers. McLean's have the compelling simplicity and beauty of great abstract art.
MacLean is a US photographic artist, best known for the aerial photography in which he has specialised. The apparent simplicity of his photos betrays an incredibly keen eye for the extraordinary, the aesthetic and the graphic.
