Ein kleines Experiment: Während ich normalerweise immer mit einem bestimmten Konzept, einer Idee im Kopf auf Instagram nach dem Hashtag #instakwer suche, um eine Auswahl zu erstellen, habe ich dieses Mal versucht, meinen Kopf völlig frei zu machen und die Bilder genommen, bei denen meine Augen länger hängen geblieben sind.
Das war zugegebenermaßen etwas riskant, denn wie erwartet gibt es in diesem instakwer verschiedenste Genres. Von Architektur über Portraits bis zu surrealen Landschaften. Es gibt Schwarzweißbilder ebenso wie Farbfotos und nicht zuletzt knackig scharfe Digitalaufnahmen ebenso wie Polaroids. Und dennoch passt alles irgendwie zusammen, finde ich. Wer weiß, was mein Unterbewusstsein wohl im Sinn hatte, bei dieser Auswahl.

Aydın Büyüktaş, is a Turkish artist, who, inspired by the book of Edwin Abbat's “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions.” has created bent and distorted aerial views of cityscapes entitled “Flatland and Flatland II”
Aydın says, “We live in places that most of the times don’t draw our attention, places that transform our memories, places that the artist gives another dimension – where the perceptions that generally cross our minds will be demolished and new ones will arise.”
These works aim to leave the viewer amazed by the surprising and surreal visuality, that is, at its heart, quite ironic. It leaves us a multidimensional, even romantic view of the world.
Enjoy some of the surreal images from Aydın's Flatland II series:

Aydın Büyüktaş is a photographer and visual effects, 3D, animation and video artist. Born in Ankara, he realized early on that a degree from Bilkent University's Tourism Management Department wasn't his dream, and he moved to Istanbul where he worked in film and advertising.
Aydın's love of the surreal, visual effects and animation was fostered working for avant-garde companies such as Sinefekt and Makinefx.
After finishing his education in the department of photography of Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, he continued his life as a multimedia artist. By the end of 2015, his new series “Flatland” had gained international acclaim and he has continued this series with “Flatland II”.

Aydin says, “When I became interested in visual effects and animation in 2003-2004, the idea that I could create surreal places that I saw in my dreams during my childhood gradually started to occur in my mind.”
“During my childhood and adolescence, I used to read science fiction series of writers such as Isaac Asimov and H.G. Wells and Scientific and Technical journals. These books made me question the issues such as wormholes, black holes, parallel universe, gravitation, bending of space and time.”

Placing your subject off-center in your frame can seem unnatural. When we think about our subject, it seems logical to just plonk it in the center of your image and, ta-da, you have your masterpiece. Well, sometimes, it really isn't that simple. Placing subjects in the center of the frame can lead to static images that are drab and contain no context or “life”.
Ok, so as always, rules and precedents are always there to be broken. So when might you place your focal point in the center of an image?
Answer: You might put your subject in the center of your photograph if you are capturing great symmetry.
If you take a look at the photograph below, the “light at the end of the tunnel” is in the center of the frame, but the symmetry and geometry are what makes this image dynamic.
However, most subjects benefit from having the focal point off-center.

In short, moving your subject away from the center of the image makes your eye wander around the photograph until it finds the subject, thus the person viewing your image is taking in the whole story of the photograph. There are a couple of compositional “rules” that will help you with this – ie the “Rule of Thirds” and “The Golden Ratio”.
The Rule of Thirds is a useful technique for inserting some dynamism in your photographs. By subdividing your frame into thirds with two vertical and two horizontal imaginary lines (see below) you find the areas in your frame where you should place your focal point.
You can use one or more of these intersections in your image to capture your subject in such a way that is aesthetically pleasing and also leads the viewer through your photo adding context and interest.
Where the horizontal and vertical lines meet is your focal point
So the Golden Ratio (The Divine Section) is more complex. Very simply, it is a compositional rule that dictates that a well-composed image can be achieved by dividing the frame by 1.6 several times.
Using the golden ratio and applying the ratio or 1:1.16, you'll get a golden rectangle and, much like the rule of thirds, you can use this to place your subject creatively off-center.

So, you can also push your subject right to the edge of the frame as well. It won't work every time, but when it does, it really is a very clever move.
Well, beyond the cinematic feel it gives to a shot, it really enhances the drama to a scene by changing the mood of a regular photograph. While composing a shot, you should pay close attention to your viewfinder (or your LCD screen if your camera doesn't have an optical one) in order to see if the framing of your image looks good or not.

Composition is a difficult subject to get the hang of, especially if you are new to photography. One of the simplest ways to improve the dynamism and interest of your images is to place your subject off-center in your frame.
For a great guide to learning about composition, take a look at Kent DuFault’s Understanding Composition. This will give you a great foundation and help you take your photography and creativity to the next level.
