The city, like any landscape, can be a photographic safari. The sweeping skylines and intricate details of the streets can be utilised to create images that are at once familiar yet at times strangely alien. If you look through any portfolio of street photography you\u2019ll notice that while you recognise the things you\u2019re seeing, the photographer has somehow succeeded in drawing out something a little different.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same with architecture photography. So many of us make the commute to work with our eyes down and our ears plugged with music. How often do you stop, pause the tunes, and let your eyes soak in the monolithic works of art that almost seem to touch the sky. And how often do you photograph\u00a0them?<\/p>\n\t\t

Taking record photographs of buildings is simple, but creating artistic interpretations of architecture is quite a different matter. If you\u2019re looking for inspiration, then the work of Belgium-born Noel Baldewijns is a great place to start.<\/p>\n

Noel\u2019s beginnings are not what you\u2019d expect. For years, he worked in the chest-beating, high-pressure madness of the European finance industry. He\u2019s retired now, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s slowed down. In fact, Noel decided to swap crunching numbers for calculating exposures. He had long been interested in photography \u2013 Alfred Stieglitz is a particular favourite \u2013 and decided to use his retirement to get his creative juices flowing. Thus he decided to pick up a camera and take to the streets to see if he could create a body of work that would bring out the character of the buildings he had so often in his career found himself occupying or simply gazing at.<\/p>\n\t\t

Noel\u2019s primary subject matter is the ultra-modern constructions of Norman Foster, Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava. These architects are at the forefront of the modernist form of buildings. You\u2019ll know the kind of style being spoken about \u2013 uncluttered, clear structures, focused on lucid forms, very geometric and very minimalist.<\/p>\n

In the UK, Foster is perhaps best known of the three \u2013 think of the highly sculptural shapes of buildings like the Gherkin in London. Gehry is known for his deconstruction and reformulation of building shapes that are sleek and playful, such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles in the USA. Calatrava creates buildings that reflect natural shapes and rhythms. He takes inspiration from things such as birds with outstretched wings (Lyon railway station in France) and a turning torso (Turning Torso Tower, Malm\u00f6, Sweden).<\/p>\n\t\t

Noel\u2019s images attempt to echo the modern feel of these buildings. The look is strongly stylised, with a black sky, streaky clouds, segments of buildings and dramatic lines, and the pictures are always sleek and dramatic. The photographs are an attempt to reflect the borderline adrenaline rush that he feels when viewing these incredible buildings.<\/p>\n

\u2018Calatrava\u2019s designs are based on birds and human bodies in motion, such as dancers, sportsmen and so on,\u2019 says Noel. \u2018This leads almost always to overwhelming structures. It\u2019s almost as if the buildings have the intention of flying away. From other buildings you can see the inspiration of insects and even musical instruments.<\/p>\n

\u2018With Foster\u2019s designs, I\u2019m attracted by how functional they are. When you walk in the City in London, there\u2019s a whole area developed by him where there is a play of light surrounding these buildings. Gehry and his swinging constructions are well known. I\u2019d like to create a photographic series with different parts of his design. With all these photographers the buildings and structures are quite difficult to shoot, but the results can be massively rewarding.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Capturing the scene<\/h2>\n

Noel\u2019s images go way beyond simply being photographs of buildings \u2013 it\u2019s a style that takes modernist architecture as its catalyst. The difference between photographing buildings and photographing architecture is rooted in what Noel refers to as the emotional content in the images.<\/p>\n

\u2018Before I even pick up my camera, I try to connect with the master architect by actually researching them,\u2019 he says. \u2018I find out what their background is, how they think, and what they were trying to convey when they worked on the plans for the building. I combine this research with my own focus, such as what do I want to convey with my work? What things do I want the viewer to experience when seeing my images? What story do I want to tell?\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Noel then spends time carefully planning everything before making the images. \u2018It\u2019s not like I wake up in the morning and decide to go out and shoot,\u2019 says Noel. \u2018For me, this doesn\u2019t work. I prepare a long time in advance, find out what surrounds the construction, how I [can] get access and permission to photograph, what hour the sun rises and how the sun will turn around the construction. Nearer the time of the actual shoot I\u2019ll check the weather forecasts because I want to know if and when there will be clouds and what type of clouds. If the weather is not what I need, then I\u2019ll cancel the trip. So you see, preparation is time consuming, and often travelling is involved soI really need to prepare. No preparation means no successful\u00a0shooting.\u2019<\/p>\n

The impact of the images is a combination of photographic technique, composition, use of an ND filter to ensure he can achieve the necessary slow exposures and capture the streaking clouds, and then black & white post-processing. Noel describes how he likes to keep his pictures \u2018tight\u2019, with no distractions, and how everything is pared down with a minimalist aesthetic. He is not afraid to use negative space as this balances the building and allows for a chiaroscuro interplay between sky\u00a0and building.<\/p>\n\t\t

Noel explains the process of making an image. \u2018I start measuring the light in manual mode,\u2019 he explains. \u2018I determine the white point in the expected frame, then I make some test shots. For me, the most interesting settings, if possible, are 1\/200sec at f\/8 at the lowest possible ISO, which is usually ISO 100. Depending on the available clouds and what I want to achieve, I will then slow down the exposure by 13-16 stops. I use a transformation table, so 1\/200sec with 16 stops becomes an exposure time of about 5 minutes. When I use more than 10 stops, I add 40-50% extra exposure time. So in the example above, the 5 minutes becomes 7 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u2018Most of the time I need to do more than one shot to get the result I want, so taking the photo I am looking for sometimes lasts around an hour. I cover my camera with a big dark mantle or cover to avoid light leakage. Mieke [my wife] made the mantle for me. It starts at the front of my lens, goes over my camera and covers the ballhead and a part of the tripod.<\/p>\n

I sometimes get strange reactions from people and once I was questioned by the police!\u2019<\/p>\n

Finally, Noel converts his image to black & white. \u2018I\u2019ve previsualised the image from the start in monochrome,\u2019 he says. \u2018It affects how I see the shoot. I\u2019m already seeing the drama in the final image, and I then bring that out using luminosity masking in the post-processing. This gives the images a sense of timelessness.\u2019<\/p>\n

Indeed, the light does seem to shine from the images because they positively glow. I ask Noel about his approach to abstracts \u2013 is there a different way of \u2018seeing\u2019 an abstract versus \u2018seeing\u2019 the whole?<\/p>\n\t\t

\u2018It depends on how I feel that day,\u2019 he says. \u2018Some buildings are very impressive and need to be photographed as a whole. When you look at my sporting stadium shots I photograph them as a whole because of the exciting design. For me, they sort of look like a bug, so I don\u2019t see any reason to mask that by going abstract. I just see the bug shape. But at the same time I keep my own dramatic style. On the day that I shot the stadium there were thunderstorms in the air, which created a great atmosphere and gave a nice backdrop of moody clouds right behind the stadium. In my preparation I never thought to shoot abstract there. Other buildings, you can\u2019t help but shoot them as abstracts.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Calatrava\t\t\t

Calatrava Bridge

For example, when I walked around the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, Spain, I felt Calatrava must have been very proud creating this. So I started to look around for a place that could honour that feeling. There was a pedestrian bridge that offered the ideal perspective. After a few hours I came up with the idea of looking at that bridge upside down (I did this on my iPad, which is connected to my camera), and I had the shot. I could previsualise a peacock, the symbol of pride. I would never photograph that bridge as a whole.\u2019<\/p>\n

Noel\u2019s images capture the sleek, radical and yet organic, sensual forms of the buildings he photographs. It\u2019s a style of imagery that feels very uncluttered and modernistic in its approach \u2013 very much a 21st-century eye.<\/p>\n

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/07\/Noel-Baldewijns-Bridge-Caltrava-I.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-08 06:10:18","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89297"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89297\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89314,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89297\/revisions\/89314"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89297"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=89297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
