Hello! First of all I am really greatfull to tomorrow for this opportunity. Last year i won this competition and it was very big step in my career. So I thought it would be fun to take a chance to participate in this challenge again.
When i first saw the building we have to do i did some research and found so many amazing shots with different composions and I realized I do not want to copy any of them. So i decided to bring something different into this. Eventually aerial view from the roofs come up in my head.
I noticed that this specific architecture was developed very well in way to fit with historicsl surrounding. I thought it was very good point to play with. So the idea was to show interaction between modern building and historical surroundings. So to bring this concept to life and I decided to have stormy clouds and some light rays reaching out our building.
After i ve got my primarily idea i started to look for references for roofs for mood and color pallette.
After i had my references prepared, i started to play around with different views. I made around 20 different angles to find which works the best for me. Then i ve done some basic shading and started to play with lighting.After i ve got my composition and lighting done, i ve started to build foreground roofs and background building.
After that i spend some time on postproduction and work was done.
The most challenging part was to find clear idea and good references for my purposes. So i spent most of the time for research. Mainly it was about light scenarios, roof details , and weather conditions. Otherwise process went pretty smoothly.
Good luck for everyone!
