Capturing signs, palm trees, fun fairs and architecture, photographer Matt Crump invites us into his very personal universe in which the warm colours of summer are never replaced by grayness. Crump is a self-taught minimalist who has no formal training in the field of photography. After his studies of art direction at the Texas Creative programme at Austin’s University of Texas – renowned for its focus on artfulness and simplicity in advertising – he went on to become an award-winning commercial art director. After ten years in the business, he began to dabble in minimalist photography with a colourful edge. His unique style was an instant succes, gaining him ten thousand Instagram followers in less than a month. Crump attributes this to his distinctive use of candy coloured negative space, surreal compositions, unusual subject and the endless summer vibe his photos emit.
