Geometry and Urban Architecture Through the Lens of Film
Urban architecture is rich in geometric forms that reflect the structural and design philosophies of different eras. While the lines of buildings may appear simple, they are infused with layers of light, shadow, and color that evoke distinct emotions.
Shooting with a film camera enhances these elements, adding a natural tonal quality that lends depth and softness to the images while capturing the atmosphere of a place in a uniquely expressive way. The limitations of film—particularly the finite number of exposures—require me to be more deliberate in composing each frame, ensuring every shot is intentional and thoughtfully framed.
In architectural photography, the city can be distilled into basic forms like triangles, rectangles, and sweeping curves, once stripped of excess detail. Yet, through the lens of a film camera, these shapes transform into narratives of shifting light and shadow, revealing the timeless beauty of the urban landscape.
