Semi-Legal Sneaking in for Fine Art Architecture Photography
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Did I go too far in intruding into this building to get the architecture shots I wanted? I was magically drawn to this wonderful spiral staircase and I really wanted to see it up close, walk around and photograph it extensively.
Sometimes you have to cross limits to reach your goal - in architecture photography, fine art photography in general and also in life. As long as no one is harmed, I think that's ok.
This building was almost completed and already partially occupied, including by EM2N Architects, who designed this special architecture.
Although the harsh winter light was perfect to go for black and white photography, I'm only half satisfied with the resulting images. I was hoping for better shots of this awesome spiral staircase - you know, fine art architectural photography that touches me.
Maybe I should go again and ask for official permission, so that I'm less stressed and can focus 100% on my photography without fear of being caught on this rather exposed spiral staircase.
Thanks for watching!

Do you agree with my image assessments? Let me know why or why not.
I would like to get in portfolio the very first pic, it's more si-fi looking like, more futuristic, I think.
You are too hard on yourself. All those shots were fine. I would have kept most of them and printed four!
Yes agree on your selection choices.
Most cases they'll claim it's for YOUR SAFETY, even tho no one is harmed. Glad to know I'm not the only hooligan in Architectural Photography. I almost broke my face once climbing over a 6 foot wall. It was great. There was a car coming so I had to do it quickly. I'm too old for this shit. Great video dude. Even better shots!
"Architectural Photography hooligan" - that one made me laugh! A fitting name, if somewhat direct.
Yeah, it's for our safety they say... for climbing walls I'm too old as well (ladders are just fine tho) but I am certainly old enough to take care of my own safety :) Safety might protect against harm, but it also kills the thrill.
Glad you like the video and photographs!
Cheers
I love the creepy vibe of entering someone’s property for a shot. Just like street photography taking a picture of someone
It's thrilling, yeah. For me, however, the excitement takes a bit of focus away from the photography. From a photographic point of view, to be honest, I would have preferred to have official permission.
Cheers
Yes you need to go back and ask to get in. I have done this a few times and I am always more focused on getting caught than on my photography and rush my setups. I always enjoy your videos. Done very nicely.
I guess you're right. In addition, there is also the filming, which already detracts focus from the photography anyway.
Glad you like my work - thank you for letting me know!
Thanks Thomas for another great presentation. Love your format and the consistency. Lot of work putting together with your impressive b-rolls. Enjoyable. Well done.
Much appreciated Rolf! This one was especially fun to edit and cobble the story together.
Cheers
This was great. Some nice work too. Subbed.
Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated!
Haha, I was waiting for security to come at any moment.
The photo you chose reminded me of that famous Bauhaus photo of the balconies at Dessau.
Nice work, Thomas !
No security, but on the terrace on the 3rd floor a balcony door was open with a person right behind it at the desk - I was quite startled. A quick chat though and everything was fine - fortunately.
The only thing missing is a person climbing around on the balcony - or hanging down from the top one instead of icicles :)
Cheers
Some great images picked out there Thomas, I really love this type of Photography. I really need to print more this year.
Thank you! I should print more too, tbh. Need a solution for the soon-to-be-filled wall though :)
Cheers
ALL keepers!! Love this
Thank you :)
Enjoyed the vlog very much Thomas. Thnx.
Glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun in the whole process.
Cheers
I enjoyed the video, nice sense of humour about getting into the building too. The quality of concrete work in Switzerland! Lovely photos, very well observed as always.
Glad you enjoyed it, the video as well as the photos. You know that the architects of this building are called EM2N? Sounds a bit like your RUclips name :)
Cheers
I’d be happy to claim the building! Your circular staircase photo is my favourite of these images - Tatlin Tower vibes.
Hello Thomas! You are getting better at making videos, this one seemed directed like a movie to me, somehow different from the others so far and I don't mean just because of the choice of different music, there were also other elements like the surprise with the sliding doors :) Is it a construction complex ? It looks really big and worth exploring! I really liked the last photo, it would get "portfolio" status for me because of the interesting architecture and viewing angle.
Cheers 👍
Hi Miro! I put much focus on the story this time (as soon as I saw that ladder, the script began to form in my head) and also tried with a little bit of acting (there's no Clooney hidden in me though). The whole process was great fun!
It's a brand new office building and not overly big. The surroundings are still under construction, but else it's almost finished and partially occupied (also by the architects that designed the building). What is still being done is the complete greening of the two longitudinal facades - that'll certainly look interesting.
The last photo is one, I'd like to do again with different light and a wider lens, because I also like it - I'm just convinced that there's a better photo to be had.
Cheers
p.s.
Oldies but goodies are on the way :)
@@thomasrhinow - Clooney would be proud! You did a great work! Most Hollywood stars are overrated anyway 😉
Looking forward for that last shot, I believe when you say that it could be better!
P.S. Thank you so much!! I already have the adapter 😁
All seems pretty arbitrary what gets kept, portfolioed and whatnot.
Well, it is sort of arbitrary, as these are completely personal assessments. But certainly not random or ill-considered. The reasons have no place in the on-location videos, but there are videos and community posts in which I explain my decisions (maybe there will be one for these pictures).
Cheers
I don't enjoy pov or vlogging photography videos but this one was very interesting and entertaining 👍also the shot at 5:28 reminds me of of vertigo by leon spilliaert, a great painting .
Glad you liked it! And thank you for bringing "vertigo" to my attention, I didn't know the painting before and I like it very much!
Cheers
Very nice video and you are turning it more and more into a real movie! Something completely different, do you know the Swiss group Zeropage? They are on RUclips and make some very nice electronic music (also all kinds of dance music). I assume you like electronic / synthesizer music, because of some of you music choices in videos ;-)
Thank you Kees for the movie compliment! I did my best to put the focus on the story this time. It all started to form in my head when I saw the ladder. Scraping a story together directly on location and then filming it is challenging (being at the edge of legality doesn't help for a clear mind too) and I'm happy that the result comes across like I intended.
I haven't heard from Zeropage, mind posting a link to their channel? I couldn't find them. You're right, the techno era from early 90s on played an important role of my youth.
Hi Thomas, did you see my comment about Zeropage I posted yesterday? It seems to be deleted :-(
About the video, great storytelling skills because you didn’t create the story in advance, but in realtime on location when you discovered the ladder 👍
No, I didn't see the comment. Didn't get an email about the comment either.

@@thomasrhinowI will send an email tomorrow because YT keeps deleting my comments as soon as I mention where you can find the music :-(
Is this brutalistic construction going to be demolished? Why they blocked the passage to it?
The building is brand new and the outside areas are still under construction, hence the barriers. The spiral staircase is "only" an emergency staircase and normally the access door from the outside is probably locked. I was lucky that the workmen placed the door stopper (and left the ladder over the weekend), so I could get up.
@@thomasrhinow Oh, there it is! I thought it was an old brutalist building.
P.S. Soon you will need a bigger wall 😉
Yeah, 2 spots left. But there's another - smaller wall in the same room, so I can continue for a while :)
@@thomasrhinow - Just for a little while, be ready :)
