The Shape of Light VI

    Newer Older

    “Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light ”
    - Le Corbusier

    Still busy recording video tutorials in fine art style. It's more than just a tutorial: the styling and mood of the video will be a reflection of my photographs, including use of time-lapse and LE effects in the video. Stay tuned for this or check my Google+ account for the latest info.
    This is one of the highest buildings in Rotterdam: The Maastoren.

    Also starting a new series of interviews/tutorials with renowned B&W photographers. It's not so much on their PP skills but more on the vision behind one of their signature photos in their portfolio. 'Why did you choose to process and compose it like that' will be the main question. Check my Google+ account and my website for the latest on this.

      Excellent use of those white walls, Joel. Love their uneven heights.

      Schitterend!!
      Ik bezocht onlangs twee huizen van Le Corbusier in Parijs en daar ondervind je echt fysisch hoe hij licht en vorm gebruikt, hoe dit een ervaring van schoonheid en evenwicht teweegbrengt... net als bij dit beeld !
