Tobi Shinobi: Equilibrium

by Tobi Shonibare, Sandro Miller (Foreword by)

Overview

Award-winning photographer Tobi Shonibare – Tobi Shinobi to his followers – pushes the boundaries of symmetry and balance in his first book, Equilibrium. From his native London to his current Chicago home, and in far-flung locales around the world, Tobi’s photographs explore and deconstruct architecture and nature until they appear as optical illusions. His vertigo-inducing perspectives turn familiar vistas into abstractions, reality into a fantasyland of line and shape. More than 164,000 followers on Instagram experience Tobi’s obsessive attention to detail and fascination with the geometry of our world.

Editorial Reviews

"Books like this one are rare because they do more than give the viewer a consolidated collection of stunning images. . . . Having glimpsed the world through Shinobi's lens, you begin to see your own surroundings more graphically." — Sony Alpha Universe
