DESCRIPTION
With photography and image editing as my tools, I project architecture and landscape in an alternative reality. The resulting images act as a kind of window, a portal to a parallel universe, hidden behind a veil of the real world. My field of activity is situated in 4 alternative universes, each one with a specific theme, atmosphere and sense of time : Serenity, Haunted, Forgotten & Pure.
Serenity reflects my imagination about an alien, architectural world, inspired by science-fiction stories of the early 20th century. Old, contemporary and modern architecture are detached from their environement and projected into a futuristic universe, entirely stripped of human noise. Surrounded by this visual silence, the buildings of Serenity demand a certain presence, enhanced by stark ligthing effects, deep shadows and minor color accents.
AUTHOR
Peter Schroyens (Born 1973, Lier, Belgium) is a photographer, specialized in architecture, interior and fine art photography. When not working on commission, he loves to create fine art images of modern architecture, abandoned buildings, deserted vehicles and magical landscapes.
The ability to optimize reality on the one hand, and to transform it into a personal vision on the other, is his biggest motive.
Mostly self-taught, Peter Schroyens has attended a professional photography course for 3 years, at Syntra Antwerp, where he graduated in 2011. Before his studies, he was a member of camera club Obscura, Zoersel.
