Vilnius- Photographs of old town 
Kęstutis Stoškus
 

Rasu Cemetary II, 1995

 

Kęstutis Stoškus is a Lithuanian architectural photographer and curator. his photographs were all in black and white which help to highlight his historical style. he keeps focus on the architectural side keeping distractions like people and cars to a minimum. he captures the "old town" beautifully, often using a religious element, heavily featuring crosses, churches and cemetery's.
 
I preferred Kęstutis Stoškus work to Ieva Baltaduonyte's because i found his photos more visually appealing and interesting. the black and white images helped create a beautiful almost haunting tone, as well as his use of light and shade in the photos. The photos of the cemetery's in particular were regal and had a very cinematic look to them. i found Stoškus photographs to be overall clearer and the concept was easier to understand.­
