This is a new monthly feature conceived by editor Jane Lyons.
Its purpose is to showcase randomly the work of a talented and active 1X photographer.
‘Architecture detail – Orlando, Florida’ by Aron Orbach
As we all know, art is subjective.
If ten people were asked to select twenty-five favorite photographs from Arnon Orbach’s portfolio, there would be ten very different results. His extensive, consistent and rich body of work is shaped by a clear and sustained point of view. Architecture, architectural details, reflections and building façades spanning decades and continents form the foundation of his visual language.
Arnon’s photographs rely on stark, clean lines, geometry, form and saturated colour, employed with quiet precision to reveal the character of a structure or building rather than merely describe it. Taken together, his work is impressive and worth revisiting.
This edit is not meant to be definitive. It is simply one interpretation of his portfolio by one pair of eyes.
“Facade-Or-Yehuda”
“Facade - Los Angeles, California”
"Abstract - Modi’in”
“Facade - Amalfi coast, Italy”
“Facade - Amalfi coast, Italy”
“The Red Door - Old Jaffa“
In fine art architectural photography, buildings are treated as canvases, with light, shadow, colour and geometry being used to construct a visual narrative. Arnon works within this tradition, but also pushes it further by employing architectural details, reflections and repetition to create original graphic compositions. These images function as contemporary art and feel equally at home in a gallery or private space.
“Brooklyn bridge - New York”
“Architecture - Boston, Ma”
“Old City - Dubai”
“Facade - Los Angelos, California”
“Urbantextures - Stockholm Sweden”
“Urban Textures - Amalfi coast, Italy”
“Urban textures – Tampa, Florida”
What makes Arnon’s work so compelling is not just his photographic style, but also his choice of subject matter. His images of historic buildings are as vibrant and textured as his photographs of contemporary architecture and are sure to arrest the viewer's attention. By isolating details and capturing buildings from extreme close-ups or unexpected angles, he transforms familiar structures into striking works of modern art. His use of repeated patterns and mirrored surfaces creates dramatic visual rhythms, turning architecture into bold compositions — structures reimagined as visual icons. Much of his work is highly stylized, with a graphic reference to the painter Mark Rothko.
“Sunset-Acre”
“Reflections in glass - Michelin Nord, Belgium”
“Staircase - Helsinki, Finland”
“Urban textures - Amalfi coast, Italy”
“The Red Pipes – Rome, Italy”
“Urban Textures – Zagreb, Croatia”
Thank you Arnon, it was a pleasure spending time with your work.
