Warsaw - Small Print

Place Portraits are a series that reimagines familiar Australian streetscapes and regional landmarks. 

Each work begins with my original architectural photographs, layered with local botanicals and carefully refined in Photoshop to blur the boundary between photography and illustration, creating images that feel both documentary and dreamlike.  

A sense of yesteryear, quirky details, and unexpected compositions give each portrait a playful character whilst maintaining a strong connection to place. Architecture is decluttered and isolated against soft pastel hued backdrops creating a calm tone that contrasts with the detail of the architecture. 

The final piece is printed on premium textured fine art paper to enhance the effect. Each print has a digital artist signature along the bottom right-hand corner and a white border for framing.

WARSAW

This vibrant capital of Poland proudly displays a mix of narrow tall townhouses, pastel hued facades and churches, monuments, statues, and museums. Near devastation from WW2 has led to the reconstruction of the old town to close to its original state. From the food, the people, and the general vibe of Warsaw, I considered this my favourite of my entire European/Scandinavian trip.

Thank you for collecting my work.
