Architect Kenzo Tange. TS lens, shift up. Maximum Point of Perspective.
No long exposure. This photo and the previous one are both handheld. No perspective correction in PS. Slight crop only.
Image processed with the Artisan panel. On a side-note, for the first time since 9 years when I last did so, I'll be soon announcing a multi-day architectural photography masterclass in a major European city for a very small group. More info on this and B&W architectural photography on my website soon.

Shot in Amsterdam, The Netherlands during a meet up with Kees Smans
Yesterday I've received news that I took 1st place in the prestigious International Photography Awards 2011 (IPA2011) in the architecture category with my Frozen Music series images. I came in 2nd in the same competition last year with my Bridges series. So there's some improvement:) Check here for the winners IPA 2011 winners
I've been very busy with commercial work in Germany and traveling a lot, which is why I haven't been online much lately. My apologies.

Nestled in the small village of Stříbrnice (Zlín Region), this fine art photo captures the quiet blue sanctuary of the Church of Saint Procopius—a modest jewel of rural Czechia. Its pale blue façade, framed by soft summer skies and gently rolling fields, embodies a serene and contemplative mood.
This bucolic image whispers of local heritage, timeless devotion, and the peaceful rhythms of village life. Perfect for interiors that favor rustic charm, spiritual calmness, or light-filled architecture.
Available as canvas, framed print, poster, metal wall art, and more.
An architectural photoshoot of modern architecture with Kees Smans, Susan Sanderus and Eddy Blokhuis.
This is one of the buildings of the headquarters of the Dutch IRS.

A photo from the recent dual-city workshop that I led in Madrid and Barcelona, with a 3rd bonus city in Valencia, covering 6 intensive and immersive fine art architectural photography days.
A non-axial, 1-facade composition with a maximum point of perspective. Ideal for buildings that are more triangular than rectangular to amplify the shape and increase tension. Composition is everything and the participants of the workshop came up with some of the best compositions of architecture you can find anywhere. Ezra Stoller and Piranesi were our invisible guides. Next workshop is going to be even better and more intensive. Processed with the Artisan Shibui plugin

Taken during the recent Fine Art Architecture Berlin workshop I taught in October 2024. The next is a 5-day dual city fine art architecture workshop in Barcelona-Madrid in March 2025. Fine art architecture is all about manifesting the unique individual experience and at the same time celebrating the architectural design. Not just one of the two. See my website. Also, my website store will be 30% off on videos and plugins from December 23 to January 1, 2025. Happy Holidays!

Architect Kenzo Tange. TS lens, shift up. Maximum Point of Perspective.
I’ve come to the belief that beauty is not a thing or a quality that exists objectively in the external world. Beauty only exists in the individual as a subjective internal experience. It is an emotional response from the observer to something or someone. The objective of art is not to create beauty or to be beautiful. It is the objective of an emotional response such as beauty - to be manifested as art. Art therefore is the external manifestation of the internal experience of beauty by the artist.

Architect OMA Rem Koolhaas
You can’t learn to be an artist. It’s not a craft or skill, those things make you a crafts(wo)man not an artist. The artist is the living embodiment of a deeply felt purpose of life, gained through introspection, and the necessity to manifest that.
Image processed with the Artisan panel. On a side-note, there's 1 spot left in my Berlin architecture and fine art workshop in October. I will go into topics very rarely or never discussed but foundational for the understanding of art and architectural photography. Info on my website.

The color version of the Chrysler Building in New York, which I prefer to the original black and white version from 2014, which can be found on my Flickr Page. First, processed in B&W, and then I brought back the colors while preserving the original luminance values (for depth and contrast perception).
More about technicalities like this, the max. point of perspective, tilt shift lenses, advanced architectural compositions, and finding one’s voice in fine art in the upcoming Rome-Milan ‘deep-dive’ fine art architecture workshop on October 9-14, and in the more hands-on architecture workshop in Hamburg on August 15-17.

I've been away from Flickr for too long. Time for some new work. Will try to catch up with all of you. If you haven't heard the news of my new website yet (see my profile for the URL): I have done interviews with some great photographers like Cole Thompson and Marc Koegel, really worth reading:)

“When you stare into the abyss the abyss stares back at you.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
Six minutes of stillness and staring into the fog. And it stared back at me.
Very unusual for me to post a photo with the same theme twice in just a few weeks, but this has a different subject: me.
Consider this a tribute to the many Long exposure Self portraits from the likes of Nathan Wirth and Brian Day . These two photographers each have a different style of creating LE SP's but they are among the best in what they do. This is one of my first and probably one of the last I do in this genre. Check this photo from Kees Smans to see how this was set up: click here - there are in fact 2 Joels :)

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.

No need to view it in the small size, just view it XXXXL but I can't help the flickr compression. If you couldn't comment on this image, then it's not because Flickr has the hickups but because I forgot to switch it on. My fault. Sorry about that.
In essence we're just primitive savages with a divine sense of aesthetics. Please see it large by entering full screen - or better yet, buy the 1x2 meter print:)

A photo-shoot of modern industrial architecture. No long exposure.
Gradually moving over to shooting architecture exclusively instead of seascapes, at least for the time being.
For a typical long exposure photographer like I am, you have to continuously ask yourself: "does a long exposure add to the impact and intention of the shot?". In this case, I don't think it would add.

Potser a la tercera serà la definitiva... però la segona ha estat molt interessant. El primer cop que vaig anar a la Ciutat de les Arts, a fer fotos, teníem molt vent i no teníem cap reflex, vaig treure alguna foto maca, però sense ser el que volia. Aquest cop vaig tornar amb l’esperança d’aconseguir algun reflex amb un cel maco, estant una setmana a València, vaig mirar les previsions de temps per escollir el dia amb més opcions, i certament ho he aconseguit i tinc algunes fotos de les quals estic molt content. Tot i així encara queda varies per fer, aquest cop sols aquesta ‘piscina’ tenia aigua, així que aquests punts de vista perfecte, però altres no es podien fer, hi tornarem algun altre cop per continuar buscant fotos interessants a veure si hi ha totes les condicions per fer més fotos interessants.

About The Shape of Light Series:
Architectural shapes and spaces are revealed and formed by light. And at the same time I try to capture and visualize the light as a strong and almost tangible shape to emphasize its necessary existence and the strong connection between light and architecture.
Light shapes - Shape the light.
