His work also includes working as an ' influencer with a growing audience of over 180,000 ' helping small and big brands tell their creative stories through their own creations and content.
His photography can be interpreted as intriguing as to where the photograph has been taken and when etc, along with his point of view of using the camera. The angles are original and unique, adding depth to the landscape.
To give more strength to his work, there are character and human traces e.g a person them-self or a car somewhere within the frame, which is insignificant in the presence of the wider world.
Recreation of Karl Shakur's work -
To further explore and understand the photographers work, I have taken a photo in the style of Shakur's, exploring a similar forest setting and colour. The angle at which Shakur's photograph has been taken at is interesting and creates somewhat of unevenness, as to where the road may lead to, along with the photo being straight yet the road having a turn. There is also an interesting aspect added to the photography, the small car which may be a symbol for something deeper that the photographer would like to show. This theme is added throughout the photographers portfolio, for example in the astrology photos where person is sitting at the edge of a cliff in a landscape environment. This gives an important to insignificant ratio, symbolising a natural monumental to a human aspect.
