Victor Schrager

By Alois Mangwende

"I was always taken with evocative colour of old hard covers”The White Room is an effort

to explore the "inexhaustible

plastic volume of space"

available through still-life

photography.

Victor Schrager focuses

primarily on still life

photography and his works

involve objects which vary in

size, width and colour to

create an abstract sense to

his images.

About Victor Schrager

Victor Schrager’s Photos

My Original PhotoThis is my original photo in which

I used a variety of books which

differed in colour, size and width

with the intentions of arranging

them in a similar way to Victor

Schrager’s The White Room

Series.

I used F.8 to slightly blur the

image, I also switched my camera

speed to 1/20.

The objects were lit in front of

seamless white paper, with the

use of an artificial light above the

objects to emphasize their array

of colours.

My interpretation of Victor Schrager’s The White Room SeriesThe picture on the left was

edited using Photoshop by

increasing the exposure

levels to suit and reveal the

white background. I also

changed the brightness

and contrast by increasing

them to ensure the bright

colours coming from the

books stood out.
