Without even realizing it we look through windows every day.  They are a luxury and a simple addition to every building that can be found in New York City.

Jesse Saunders uses her camera lens to look at the windows found in New York City.

Her gallery, “Through the Windows,” features multiple shots of the buildings we see around the city each and every day.

Each photo comes out clear as though the viewer is looking at the building in person. What make this gallery so mesmerizing are the angles that she takes the photos at.

“[My] focus is on the exterior of buildings, particularly windows, and changing the perspective of how we look through them,” said Saunders.

The angles from which she chooses to take the photos change the perspective of the way one would view a window.

Looking at them from the side adds a sleek texture to the once rocky building.

Saunders took inspiration from Paul Strand’s photos of Wall Street and other locations in New York, as well as Horacio Coppola’s photos of Buenos Aires.

Looking at Strand’s photos it is easy to see where Saunders drew her inspiration. His photos take on alternate angles of buildings as well.

Similarly, in Horacio Coppola’s photos, we see the detail to alternate angles of buildings and signs.

By taking on a different view of a simple piece of architecture, the viewer is able to look at the world around them in a new light.

Looking through the photos in Saunders’s gallery we are given an alternate view of the simple buildings we see each time we walk through the city.

Take a walk through Calkins Hall to visit this FORM Gallery and gain a new perspective on the architecture found in one of the greatest cities on Earth.

This gallery will be up until Oct. 17.
