Introduction Part 2 of the previous article ‘Perspectives on architecture photography’ where I discussed the place of negative space and the maximum amount of perspective in architectural photography. My premise in that article was that in ‘true’ architectural photography the design of the architect plays an outsized role while negative space is the opposite of the dynamics, visual energy and tension I want to convey with my architectural photographs. A dynamics and tension I’m trying to amplify with the use of the Maximum Amount of Perspective. Hence negative space has no function in my arch ..read more

Introduction Over the years I’ve encountered many discussions on architectural photography in the context of fine art. Especially when it comes to the use of spaces in architectural photography. Most heard remark: the building needs a bit of ‘breathing room’. It needs some negative space. But no one can articulate why. I will state that negative space is secondary to other principles in architectural photography that I will highlight in this article.   Use of negative space in visual arts First of all I think that a building doesn’t breathe, it doesn’t live, it’s just a building, so it ..read more

Introduction Recently, while writing and finishing this article on quality in visual arts, I came across one of Seth Godin’s blog posts about raising the bar. Very appropriate timing and I decided to start my article with his statement that most innovations are not made to raise the bar, but to raise the average.  As an example, he refers to Mcdonald’s which wasn’t there to raise the bar for the best food, but to make roadside dining faster, cheaper, and more reliable. This is what happens these days with AI, software, and other innovations in the creative world (and outside of it of cou ..read more

Introduction As a follow up on my previous article, “The importance of fine art photography”, I wanted to share my initial thoughts on AI and how it can impact, be it negatively or positively, photography and art in general.

I hope to share more thoughts in subsequent articles. To start with, let me state clearly that I’m very excited to encounter and live any change in our lives and the world we live in.

Around 10 years ago when I first released my B&W editing workflow for Photoshop, called iSGM (iterative Selective Gradient Masking), many people, not familiar with the how and why of my workflow, have been referring to this manual and structured method for B&W post-processing, as a destructive method when seeing it for the first time. Despite the negative qualifications, this manual method has gained many followers worldwide over the years as it proved to be a structured and efficient way to have full control over B&W images and create the type of images I’ve had many s ..read more
