Henry Rinne: Drama in Architecture

Expressive Photographs of Architectural Works

I admire Henry Rinne. I admire his photographs. I admire how he combines the drama of buildings and architecture with the dramatic experimentation of new technology within the field of photography. As I have done previously with photographer Krzysztof Such, I want to share my admiration for their work to benefit others. Without explanation, I like to look and soak in what I see. I have succeeded if I can transfer what I see into an emotion.

Four years ago, Henry Rinne retired as Dean of the College of Fine Arts at Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Florida, after a forty-year career in higher education.

Black & white photography has always been his primary focus in landscape, nature, and portraiture. Still, he loves to find dramatic colors in the landscape and has recently started experimenting with infrared.

Rinne has exhibited his dramatic images in Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, California, and North Carolina. In addition, his work has been published in books and magazines, including Downbeat and Lenswork’s Our Magnificent Planet 2020 and 2021.

I hope you have enjoyed these images as much as I have. The architecture is beautiful. The photography is beautiful. The technology is impressive. Thus, the final image is stunning.
