Artist Statement/Concepts

This image was a shoot with friends at Golden Mile Tower. The building probably has the best dynamic architecture that consist of bold colours that are fading and large flows spaces. The emphasis is therefore on the background and the human subjects to fill in the mid ground for scale. The original image was slightly overexposed in the highlights and the colours of the space is bit too cool. In the corrections I masked out the arc windows to bring details back in and use the spit tone technique to balance out the exposure. I also toned down the saturation of the colours and added some warmth into the light that was projected on the floor.

Process
