Founding of Architecture and Street
Since 2019 I’ve been experimenting with architecture photography without even realizing it.
My journey started in portrait photography and quickly lead into the business and documentary field. But ever since discovering classic film photography, I’ve been drawn into lines, shapes and urban landscapes.
Still, I’ve never seen myself as an architecture photographer, since architecture photography seemed to me as being something extremely clean and heavily edited. Aspects that I did not seem to collaborate with film photography.
It wasn’t until I found photographers like Iwan Baan, Benny Chan or Helen Binet, that I discovered that this genre of photography can be so much more.
“I’m much more interested in that moment when the architect leaves the project, and people take it over. I like to see what happens in those moments.”
Was literally the quote that got me interested in architecture photography, in that sense, thanks Iwan!
Even more so, it made me realized that I was in fact already shooting architecture, but just in a certain niche. It also got me excited to discover my own identity in this genre of photography.
Architecture can be so much more than “just” a clean, perfect living room shot with HDR maxed out and polished with photoshop afterward.
I want to use this blog not only to highlight techniques, experiences and my process of diving deeper into this profession. But also to give different kinds of architectural photography a platform to shine, to experiment and push boundaries.
With this being said, thank you for reading, and I’m looking forward to this journey.
