Architecture: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I was drawn to this building for its fluid, almost sculptural design—an interplay of rigid geometry and soft curves. The way light dances across its surface, casting deep shadows and striking highlights, transforms the structure into a living canvas. Its bold, modern aesthetic invites contemplation of space, balance, and form.
The ascending steps add a grounded contrast to the soaring elegance above, leading the viewer’s eye upward. This architectural piece stands as a testament to human innovation, merging function with artistic vision. It’s a reminder of how architecture can inspire through its sheer presence and the ever-changing interaction with light
AUTHOR
John. J. Martinotti
As a Fine Art Photographer, I bring an artistic view to all my photographs. I incorporate delicate elements that detach them from the world I see, creating a portal to discover unique perspectives of the unknown. I don't just capture what it looks like, but what it feels like. Applying long exposures creates an ethereal quality in my images that is the source of my inspiration.
Photography is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality. I don't believe in "one size fits all" when it comes to any genre of photography. I strive to evoke feelings of intimacy that lend a sense of surreal to play against a strong or calm compositional environment or subject.
In essence, my work is the art of observation. I believe there are things nobody would ever see or know of its existence if I did not photograph them
