Ecce Mundus in urbe 08. Photographer Eddie

Strong shapes. The arch frames the glass well. Good contrast.

Did you use a wide-angle lens for this?

Thank you for your comment
I didn’t use a wide-angle lens to avoid too much distortion in the photo’s composition

Good choice. The perspective feels balanced without stretching the arches unnaturally. Was there a specific reason you chose black and white over color?

For this photo, I chose black and white to focus on the essentials. That is to say, to highlight the main subject within the urban setting, accentuated by the presence of Calder’s sculpture ‘The Red Spider’ with the buildings in the background.
Thank you for your interest

Good call. The monochrome really emphasizes the contrast between the organic curves of the sculpture and the rigid geometry of the glass buildings behind it. Did you shoot this during a specific time of day to get that lighting?

I took this photo in the morning. It was during the developing process that I was able to capture the morning light

Morning light works well here, giving depth and clarity to the structures. Did you adjust any exposure settings to balance the contrast between the bright reflections and darker areas?

Yes, everything was done in Photoshop using layers to improve the brightness and refine the shadow areas.
To achieve this, the original photograph needs to be of good quality, both in terms of composition and lighting.

Fair point. A solid base image makes post-processing much easier. The composition here definitely provides a strong foundation for those adjustments.

You're welcome. The balance between the sculpture and the architecture is striking. The figure adds scale without distracting from the main elements.
