l‘architecture en cinéma scope
my unique view on
I first developed this perspective on architecture in 2015 during a visit to Paris.
My goal was to capture a clean view of buildings, isolated from the crowded urban environment and any dramatic sky, focusing solely on the architecture itself.
By choosing the classic CinemaScope format with an extreme aspect ratio of 2.55:1, and employing exciting perspectives and layouts full of tension, I create my personal vision on architecture.
Arranging two (or four) images of the same building into a graphical cluster transforms the original appearance into a completely new and fascinating aesthetic abstraction.
