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.

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.

One of the Frank Gehry buildings in Dusseldorf. How I took this photo, the artistic thought process in the field with my approach of the maximum point of perspective to increase the dynamics in the photo using a tilt-shift lens, and the process behind the computer is explained in a video tutorial on my website.
Processed with the Artisan Pro X panel. More info on my panel on my website.

Artistically, the image is created out of an existential craving for beauty - and hence pleasure.
Processing took place entirely with the Artisan Pro X panel. More info on my panel on my website. I've conducted a few live webinars earlier this year on the use of the Artisan Pro panel and actually beyond merely explaining the panel. Much time was also spent on explaining/demonstrating the generic principles behind B&W photography. Those webinars, 6 hours in total, have been recorded and are available, unedited on Youtube: part 1 - beginners and part 2 - Advanced

After The Rain - Ring of Kerry, Ireland 2019
I haven’t been much online the past few years and if you wonder if I still photograph: yes, I’m fully immersed in the art of photography, developing B&W editing software, creating photographs and teaching about photography. In fact, I just taught a workshop in Ireland and did a big talk at the annual Irishlight photography event that was received warmly and with appreciation.
Ireland is a beautiful country, so much so that it rekindled my suppressed love for landscapes in unexpected ways. The people who followed me for the last decade know that until 2009 I was mainly shooting landscapes and seascapes before fully turning to architectural photography and stick with it. The Irish landscape, however, was so beautiful in its rawness and especially when covered in the ethereal light in between the rain showers, that shooting the beautiful Samuel Beckett Bridge in Dublin was just a minor highlight for me. That light! I can’t explain it, but I know it’s the type of light I’ve been chasing ever since I had recurring dreams as a young boy that was about that kind of diffused and ethereal light. And it is that light and the feeling that light gives me, that I wanted to convey in this photo. Perhaps nostalgic and romanticized, but what’s life without the desire to embellish life.
This photo is an almost 90MP photo, best seen large

Related to this: next week German FotoTV and I will release a new 3.5-hour video tutorial that explains the new B&W fine-art workflow model that forms the basis for the Artisan Pro X panel and enables me to control intricate details in photos that aren’t possible manually. A photo that illustrates that will be posted next week. I promise it is quite special from a technical point of view and the artistic possibilities it opened up to me. The latter is something I didn’t anticipate as I was merely trying to speed up the workflow and make things easier. So I surprised myself, which is by itself, surprising…
