Stunning abstract and minimalist architecture shots by Serge Najjar, talented photographer and artist from Beirut, Lebanon. A lawyer by trade, Serge plays with shadow and light to capture incredible geometric and minimalist images, abstractions and playful scenes. Influenced by the work of Kazimir Malevich, Josef Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, and Alexander Rodchenko, Najjar took to the streets, focusing his lens on daily routines: construction workers sitting on a building ledge during lunch break, the sharp lines of a high-rise facade, a man looking out an open window, and children sitting on a windowsill. Whether working in Beirut, Munich or other places he visits, Najjar’s vision is unwavering – to show other people what they may not see themselves.

“There is no such thing as an ideal place to photograph, or an ideal city. Architecture inspires me, but my whole approach towards photography is to focus on what people consider as common… the people I photograph are complete strangers. I never plan where I go and what or who to shoot. My images are faithful to what I see. And every single Saturday morning I am convinced that I will never capture the picture I had the chance to capture the week before… It is a thin line between the ugly and the beautiful, the ordinary and the extraordinary, between chaos and order.”
