Architecture
Urban Geometry
Black-and-white architectural photography that translates towers, ceilings and façades into lines, grids and repeating forms. The city is not documented as a whole; it is read as a visual order.
The city becomes a pattern
Urban Geometry begins with scale and ends in structure. Towers pull the eye upwards, streets create distance, and supporting constructions cut strong diagonals through the frame. Other photographs move so close to ceilings or façades that their original scale becomes difficult to judge.
Removing colour directs attention towards brightness, rhythm and repetition. Windows become grids, steel beams become lines, and hexagonal façade elements turn into an almost abstract pattern. Black and white unifies the different locations without making their materials identical: glass remains light, concrete remains solid and metal retains its precision.
The series offers two ways of looking at architecture. From a distance, it speaks about height, density and the relationships between buildings. In a close crop, it becomes a study of order and variation. The eye tends to stay longest where a line breaks or a repeated form changes slightly.

An idea for a portrait or a shared series?
If you would like to discuss a portrait shoot, a TFP idea or an independent creative project, send me a few lines. It helps to mention the idea, the kind of location you have in mind and which photographs in this portfolio speak to you. I also share new work and developing series on Instagram.
