A story behind: Picturing the modern architecture is my second great photo passion. When I look at the building form the different angles I try to recognize interesting curve lines or patterns of different rectangles. Experimenting with wide angles to produce distortion and extreme perspective is another great idea. Since there is always a big number of details you can crop in tightly on the building without making the photo feel unnatural. Desaturation is another fantastic tool you can use to captivate one´s eye. Black and white ( B&W ) photos with all shades of gray can increase a tonal range and make a picture even more appealing. Special thanks to: Luis Esteves and Antonieta Gomes ( and all people from the Vodafone.pt team ) for all the help they offered me in making this project possible.

A story behind: Here it is: the Vodafone office building in Porto with all its polygon spaces, with its twists, turns and formidable geometric lines. It is a nice object to point your lenses at because it can be shot from so many different angles.
