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…

One of the venues of the World Cup Football 2022.
Est. 2019 by the late Zaha Hadid who was an Iraqi-British architect who is widely considered to be one of the greatest architects of the early 21st century. The stadium, like all other stadium designs for the world cup 2022, is inspired by local traditions and regional culture. In this case, the stadium roof represents the shape of the sails of a Dhow boat, used by pearl divers in the region.

Image number 18 (# 5 here on Flickr) of a series of 29 fine art photos on modern architecture in Qatar commissioned by Qatar Tourism, taken earlier in 2022. And the 3rd out of this sub-series of images from the Al Janoub stadium. Check out my portfolio on my revamped website bwvision.com/architecture-gallery/ for the entire The Age of Modern Architecture in Qatar series up till now (17 photos already).
This existing series of 29 photographs are being exhibited right now in the M7 museum in Doha, Qatar. What you will see as the series of 29 unfolds in the next weeks, is that there’s a strong connection between the architect’s design and its environmental and cultural context. I’ve tried to celebrate the architect’s design through my interpretation of it in relation to its environment. The tonal composition has been carefully designed to give visual weight to the architectural structures and pronounce their forms, while the spatial composition (object and space selection and arrangements) enhances the visual energy of the structures as they are juxtaposed to the serenity of the (back)grounds. A serenity that is inspired by the characteristics of a desert area. All 29 photos have been processed using the B&W Artisan Pro panel to speed up the process and increase accuracy considerably.
If you happen to be in the area: the exhibition at the M7 museum in Doha runs till January 2023 and is on the 2nd floor. Printed on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Pearl (Metallic C-Type), with Diasec Classic by DifoArt in the size of 150x100cm (59x40 inches).
