Modern architecture photography of Amsterdam
An architecture photograph of Amsterdam reveals a surprisingly modern side of the city. Clean lines, distinctive façades, reflecting water and bold forms give buildings such as Sluishuis, Valley, Eye Filmmuseum, NEMO and A’DAM Tower a powerful presence on the wall.
Every image in this collection was personally photographed by me in Amsterdam. As an Amsterdam-born photographer, I capture the city in different seasons, weather conditions and times of day. You are therefore looking at original Amsterdam photography, not stock imagery.
Amsterdam architecture through my eyes
Modern architecture changes continuously with the light and its surroundings. During blue hour, illuminated homes and reflections come together, while clear daylight emphasises the geometry, materials and rhythm of a façade. In my architecture photography, I look for that balance between building, composition, space and atmosphere.
Architecture photography as wall art
The photographs are available in a range of sizes and materials, including photo prints, framed posters, canvas, ArtFrame, acrylic glass, aluminium dibond and custom photo wallpaper. Aluminium dibond highlights lines and details with a clean gallery appearance; acrylic glass adds extra intensity to colour, contrast and depth. There is a suitable presentation for both modern interiors and offices.
