While alarmed by the environmental crisis, architects work hard to design new environmentally friendly living spaces and green constructions; a group of photographers in this project highlight the natural interaction between architecture and the environment with some architectural integration into nature.
Inspired by masters of impressionism and feeling nostalgic for the painting process, I decided to take an artistic approach in my architectural project to convey a metamorphic process in the environment. Working with a modified vintage lens made my process more demanding yet exciting as the lens offers a unique ethereal look. With selective focus and soft but expressive edges, I am pushing boundaries of the photographic medium; thereby, I hope to draw the viewers' attention to the partnership between architecture and glorious nature.

Some additional info to this experimental project: I shoot most of my images with F11 or F16 and F8 in the evening +tripod and 1s S. With possible in the middle of the image even with the smallest aperture, I had to pay attention of the composition on location.
Previously, I had tendency to suppress ISO`s or shoot as low as possible especially at night or bright day, to archive painterly look too, but with this lens I embraced some amount grain to emphases textural effect this lens provides.
