Photographing architecture and wide-angle lenses are very complimentary. The problem I faced was that I didn’t
want to replicate a picture that looked like many other typical architecture shots. B&W outlines contours and
shapes very well and using yellow filters creates an overexposed, yet when exposed correctly, almost infa-red
type images.
‘Highrise’ depicts a very simple, but effective image. A number of square blocks project themselves on what seems
to be a rectangular formation reaching a dark, somewhat limitless sky. Shape also takes place on the walls.
Harsh, grained contours on the nearest wall are outlined by angled light and almost dissipate into the distance where
direct light falls onto. Most of all, the image was with patience, tightly positioned in the frame. The final result
would be somewhat different if composition was disregarded.
