Eggleston’s photographs are not taken from a normal eye level. By modifying the usual viewpoint of the observer (horizontal and at the height of the eyes), Eggleston creates new angles and causes different sensations making the observer look at objects from another perspective. A good example for that is Eggleston’s famous picture of a child’s bicycle with three wheels which was taken from an extreme angle from below, making the rather small childlike object seem monumental.
I love how the frames are composited in such an asymmetrical way yet it feels very balanced and modern, with a sense of life. bright colour yet quite clean and simple.
