Abstract 1st place winner

This project represents the geometric architecture of my imagination. My concept is to change and displace the forms and structure of the buildings to create a geometric world with interesting patterns and unrealistic spaces. Sharing these images from my imagination is an exciting process, and I hope that the results will make a strong visual impact on the viewer. This project consists of 25 black and white images in square format, with post-processing done in Photoshop.

I photograph different types of architecture in the real world to compose my database and element collections. I discover architecture in different countries and places, like San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Seattle, Savannah, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Beijing and Hong Kong.
