David Ogle

David Ogle graduated from Lancaster University with a 1st class BA in Art History and Practice in 2009 and an MA with a Distinction in Contemporary Arts Research  in 2012.He is currently undertaking an AHRC funded doctoral research project at The University of Liverpool in collaboration with FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) maintaining his studio practice alongside academic work. 

Ogle's photography seeks a mode of fragility, revealing strong geometric forms within each frame. Like the bright distinctive lines along the surfaces, they exist in space without mass or structure. His work has come to rest on the edge between a sculptural form and an environmental occurrence. His pristine landscapes are a context that is inseparable, like the shifting natural light that transcends through the frame provides a significance and meaning. Like a fleeting through narrow window of time. 

 I really enjoy David Ogle's work, its right up my alley of interests. With the distinctive bright lights and abstract use of soft and harsh colors. With all of it placed in serine landscapes that compliment each other so nicely. I am beyond impressed with his photographs and  how he creates a  mysterious hazy lighting effects to how reflects the lasers within a scene. With each photo being different from the rest by the use of vibrant artificial and natural lighting create such amazing photographs.  I deferentially plan to recreate some of these photos and figure out how he created the colorful light effects within these frames.
