Overview:
My approach, designed to resonate with human perception, eliminates convergence to prioritize
geometric form and create depth through light and shadow, rather than relying on traditional
perspective.
Key Skills & Techniques:
- Composition & Framing: Utilizing leading lines, symmetry, rule of thirds, and
other compositional techniques to create visually compelling and balanced images, emphasizing
geometric relationships within the frame.
- Understanding of Light: Employing natural light effectively to enhance the
architectural details, creating depth and dimension through light and shadow rather
than relying on perspective. This includes understanding the impact of different times of day and
weather conditions.
- Perspective Control: Utilizing perspective correction techniques (both
in-camera with tilt-shift lenses and in post-processing) to eliminate converging lines,
maintaining accurate representations of architectural forms and prioritizing geometric accuracy by
presenting the building's true proportions.
- Post-Processing: Use of post-processing software for color correction, HDR
merging, sharpening,
precise perspective correction to achieve a polished and professional final image.
Equipment:
I use a Sony full-frame system with a variety of prime and wide-angle zoom lenses. I
also have extensive experience with Canon full-frame systems and possess a strong understanding of
professional lenses crucial for architectural photography, including tilt-shift optics for perspective
correction.
