Title: The Architect
Post by: James Clark on January 04, 2022, 01:57:54 pm
Going through my 2021 work product... I shot an architect's own home for an event they were planning last year, and this one didn't make their list for commercially viable shots, but it ended up being one of my favorite images from the whole year.

It does evoke the life and work of an architect. Perhaps the colour version does not work as well?

Quite excellent.

The symmetry and echoing of angles are very fine indeed.

Great lines. I think b/w works here.

i like it a lot.  the fact that its Hiighy Evocative..may have been what precluded the client or the clients associates from finding it suitable for the thier particulare "needs", being that it is inescapable a work of Art in and of itself

Thanks for the positive feedback :). To those wondering, there's nothing there in color.  Various shades of tan/brown/offwhite in shadow, and the table lamp and desk surface, which add texture and contrast in the BW are totally lost in color.

I suspected as much. But the jury in, we all like it.
