Ryan Maclean

Photos by Ryan Maclean, Vancouver, Canada.

Today’s photo selections come from Vancouver based photographer, Ryan Maclean.  Ryan is a 15 year veteran in the photographic arena and uses a variety of formats to capture his images, including his Blackberry.  He only submitted one photo the flikr group, but after digging through his photostream I had to run this feature.  His subject matter varies depending on location, but most of them seem to carry the same air.  His photos are direct, somewhat minimalist, and slightly confrontational without really being overly overt or offensive.  My favorites in this selection are the shopping carts, as they remind me of Banksy’s sketches and paintings on commercialism.  It wouldn’t surprise me, in the least, if they were informed by a similar philosophy.  I’m also fond of the juniper peeking it’s head over the wooden fence.  I like it’s minimalistic approach, it’s use of complimentary hues, and the fact that it has warm tone while portraying a contained urban space, which are all to often, portrayed in cool or neutral hues.
