 He both incorporates natural lighting in his landscapes as well as artificial. This photo for example looks cinematic in the way it is taken. It is taken from a low angle, focusing on a sign on a US Post Office. The low angle effect makes the wooden post intimidating.








This Photo is a car park of cadillac's. From his images, we can identify the era is the 1970's. The line where the cars are parked is directly in the centre of the frame. The clouds in the sky reflect off the cars shiny appearance.









This photo depicts a typical American motel. The colour of the building is bright, but the sky is of a grey colour.
