SWST

“Cropped” high-contrast image which shows from bottom to top both night and day, both shadow and sun, both illuminated interior and reflective exterior, both corten in the dark and corten under the sun, both life inside the architecture school and outside on the tight streets. It also hints the curvilinear circular form of the building. The focus was on the facade frames which talk a lot about the character and identity of the project. Made with 3DMax, Vray and Photoshop. As usual for me a big emphasis was given to the post production part. I have to find time and will to improve my technical Vray skills so that my raw renders would give me the chance to get to world-class level. That’s my goal and I am pretty sure I can reach it through hard work. Thank you Ronen and Tomorrow for the opportunity to participate in a creative personal challenge.

Final Submission

This challenge was a huge learning experience for me. There are a lot of personal firsts in this image. Having no client breathing down my neck allowed me to experiment, but it also meant that it made me take longer to get the image done. That’s something that I would do differently if I were to redo the project: I would have given myself a bit of a stricter timeline. One of the main problems I faced in the beginning was the fact that I got bogged down on the corten material for the two first days. After getting bogged down for a while, I decided to work on the project as I would if I were constantly showing it to a client for progress updates. Instead of starting from the details, I tried to finish the scene overall little by little. By the time I was almost done and it was time for me to get back to the corten I was refreshed and I knew exactly what I needed to do to get it done.

I want to thank the people at Tomorrow and Ronen for putting up this challenge! I imagine this challenge is quite a risk for you guys at Tomorrow (what if no contestant is good enough?). So I applaud you for taking that risk. I hope you find the right people to join your team. To join Tomorrow in Sweden would be a dream-come-true to me and a challenge I’m eager to take.

Thanks again!

Hello, neighbor

Just an ordinary day in Stockholm. It’s about 12:30PM, lunch time, and summertime.
In looking for some original camera angle, I decided to take this one from everyday situation.
My goal was to show the quality of architectural design and realistic materials of this masterpiece, but also a little bit of old buildings and environment in facade glass reflection.

Passion

What makes us very good at doing something ? there are many reasons like : having good teachers , parents , friends , having time , trying a lot , but the most important part is to have a strong passion if you are passionate you will learn anything you want , you will be what you want , that’s how I thought when I’ve seen this project , I was an architectural student and I wasn’t good at anything but I was passionate , and at the end my graduation project was chosen as the best one of this year , just because I was passionate , so my shot shows us students taking a break between lectures , it is warm and joyful , and full of life, it shows passionate students , enough greens , and a fully saturated building .
