I had a day off in Osaka and wanted to shoot some architecture, I looked online for interesting buildings in the area and found the Hyōgo Prefectural Museum of Art in nearby Kobe.



My editing was done in Photoshop only, I added some gradients create more interesting light and did some dodging and burning to make the image look more 3 dimensional. The "day for night" edit of the second image is quite time consuming, it requires many selections of different areas and then adding "curves" adjustment layers to those selections to darken the image, especially the mid-tones.


Altering light to make the image appear more 3 dimensional but maintaining a realistic look is where I strived for in the first image. The purpose of the second image was to create a more mysterious look while enhancing the shape of the building.

I'm an architectural photographer from Amsterdam. Always looking for interesting buildings while walking through a city. Lately I have been trying to improve my portrait skills since it is completely different and a nice change.
