Jonathan Knowles / Complex Simplicity

 

As a kid I was endlessly fascinated with the game Mousetrap, so being drawn to Jonathan Knowles‘ photographs of set designer Kyle Bean‘s Complex Simplicity project was a no-brainer. Each one is inspired by the Rube Golberg machine, originating from the man’s cartoon creations of complicated machines designed to complete simple tasks. Captured in a pastel palette with a modern treatment, Knowles created a clean and crisp lighting aesthetic across the project that allowed for a clarity of detail befitting the complex Rube Goldberg machine.
