Corporate Goddesses

Once you've noticed the Corporate Goddesses you can't un-see them, a set of sculptures by Muriel Castanis at 580 California in San Francisco.

The photograph, titled "Corporate Goddesses," captures the imposing presence of three statues that grace the rooftop of a modern office building. These statues, each a depiction of a robed goddess, seem to preside over the cityscape with an air of timeless authority. Their imposing figures are set against a backdrop of clear blue sky, enhancing their ethereal presence. The building itself features a sleek facade, punctuated by glass panes and cylindrical columns that lend an air of modern sophistication. The statues stand prominently atop, their forms highlighted by the contrasting shadow and light created by the sun’s angle.

The composition of this photograph is striking, utilizing a low-angle perspective to emphasize the grandeur and mystique of the statues. This choice enhances the viewer's sense of awe, making the statues appear larger than life. The alignment of the building’s architectural lines draws the eye upwards, leading to the statues that punctuate the composition perfectly. I admire the way the clean lines of the building's structure harmonize with the complex forms of the statues, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of modern and classical elements. However, the image could benefit from a tighter crop to eliminate some of the empty sky, focusing more on the architectural details. The exposure is well handled, capturing the stark vision of stone against azure sky, though a sharper focus might highlight the intricate details of the goddess statues more effectively.
