Fine Art

The creative-emotional process

Welcome to my fine art architecture photography gallery. These pictures mean a lot to me as they are very personal and give an insight into my soul. You could call this a photographer’s soul striptease.

My fine art architecture photography is always the result of a very long working process. Sometimes I sit on my fine art pictures for several days; sometimes even several weeks, until I am satisfied with the overall result. All photos are completely edited manually and realized according to my vision.

 

Reduction to the essentials

I mainly create black and white fine art architectural photographs. In my opinion, this type of photography reduces a building to its innermost core and weakens image content that distracts from the main object. In my black and white fine art architectural photographs, the “color” factor is eliminated – as the name suggests. Instead of color, I work with the entire spectrum of all shades of gray between black and white.
Using a special shooting technique (long exposures), elements such as cloud structures, moving cars, pedestrians, etc. that distract from the main object are either eliminated or greatly simplified.

Just like the image editing process, taking black and white fine art architectural photographs is very time-consuming: I always take my photos in daylight and use so-called ND filters. These filters are like extremely strong sunglasses that allow long exposure times. Sometimes I expose a photo for up to 8 minutes. With such a long exposure time, every photo has to be precisely planned. These long exposure times simplify elements that distract from the main subject or make them invisible. This gives the main protagonist – in my case it is usually architecture – more importance and attention.

In very rare cases, I leave color in my fine art architectural photographs. This is always for specific reasons. One example is the Lusail Marina Twin Towers – I write about this colored fine art architectural photograph in a blog post HERE.
