The Journey

Over the last 24 months I concentrated on producing Fine art Architecture work. The key elements I enjoy in the process is to produce minimalistic, bold powerful lines depicting the beauty and power of urban architecture.

Each image is photographed in broad daylight. Part of the magic is created during post production where with the use of light, angles, fine lines and the overall composition I am able to direct the viewer’s eye.

An enormous amount of time is spent editing until I am fully satisfied. Sometimes the images are put away and revisited a couple of months later. Often you can become very absorbed so much so that your creativity becomes slightly inhibited.

I hope you enjoy this body of work and feel the power and simplicity each image provides.
