Tomorrow Challenge 2018 – the School of Architecture

/in , , , , /by

The main idea was to expose Corten steel panels and the curvature of the corners and elevations. I’m going to show the steel elevation in different lighting conditions and contrast warm orange elements lit by the sun with the cold surrounding after rain.
I have explored nearly twenty camera angles as potential compositions. Despite the shot from underground atrium was very attractive it allows showing only part or rear corner. Other shots from the land steps give very interesting first plane – lowering steps and low wall but the building, the main character looks too small. It’s the reason why I chose the camera angle from the front.

“Morning birds”

/in , , , /by

The main goal of the concept was to capture the building early in
the morning while it is “waking up”. Everything and everyone else is
still asleep. Some of the students are already in, while others are
just arriving. I believe that this scenario gives the opportunity for the
building to stand out and really catch the viewer’s eye. Surroundings
remain complementary and in contrast to the subject. Fog and vignette
are adding more depth and better pronunciation of the background,
middleground and foreground. Wet surfaces, puddles and reflections
are adding more drama to the scene. Overall I was trying to keep it rather natural and realistic, but with emphasis on art and story behind it.

Sofware used in this project was 3ds Max (modeling, texturing),
Vray (shading, lighting, rendering), Adobe Photoshop (textures,
postproduction). Resources worth mentioning were Evermotion.org
(3d assets, textures), Textures.com (textures), 3dwarehouse.com (3d
assets), mrcutout.com (cut out people), Pinterest and Google helped
with inspiration.

I hope you enjoy the image at least half as much as I enjoyed making it 🙂

Deep Blue Night

*This image was slightly corrected in the original image.*

I upload my final work once again on the last day of the Tomorrow Challenge.
It is a day of moist, soft blue nights. Various and sophisticated night view images were variously referenced.
Since then, it was the most important part of this image to unravel my feelings.
In this image I tried to avoid too gorgeous or too exaggerated directing and filled with a soft yet strong dark blue tone.
I hope that people who see the image feel the soft and moist air.
Expecting good results.
