A lot of Compsons work is based in the world of fashion but one or two pieces i found quiet interesting and felt need a little more study. The three photos above all taken from his site http://www.joncompson.com/ have something in common in that they take something that is familiar to us and distort it in a way that you don't lose the familiarity of the scene but create something completely different. For example with the last shot of the Eiffel Tower he's taken a typical shot of the lower half of the tower and then some close up view of the steel work and combined them all into a single images. As I've said its good because you can look at it and understand what the subject matter is without spending to much time considering it. Another reason why these images work well is the simplicity of them, he doesn't try to over complicate the scenes while giving them a very natural feel.
