PORTFOLIO Predrag Miladinovic ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY
OFFICE BUILDINGS
In the design process an architect sees a series of photographs of a building. The Architectural photographer will be successful if he/she makes these photographs without knowing the architect. More so if he/she produces pictures that will surprise and charm the architect. Thus the architectural photography can be considered successful as a path in between the architect's and the photographer's idea.
OFFICES
The experience of photographing often contains two situations: the photographer almost touches surfaces of the ambient to see them and get to know them, while the ambient sometimes remains in the distance, almost forbidden and revered, but easily readable in a frame and authentically presented.
INDUSTRY
One recorded frame can follow after a series of a dozen of those unrecorded ones which it conquered in an invisible selection process, known only to a photographer.
MUSEUMS
Realistic view of a designed space emerges in between two opposites, conceptually and stylistically not much far apart: from urban context to designed objects, free for direct use. It is a zone with a multitude of motifs for capturing and every architectural element within it seeks a special lens, focal length, an approach that will present it in the most authentic and beautiful way.
AUDITORIUMS & THEATERS
The beauty and significance of many buildings remain captured only in a photography for a multitude of people who will likely never visit them. Therefore, good architectural photography ensures more than a compromise for a tourist through a fictitious visit and an authentic view for experts and students of architecture.
CAFÉS AND RESTAURANTS
As is the case with photographing portraits, successful photographing of architecture is preceded by a successful and somewhat brief study of motifs. Easy reading of someone's nature and character, and deciphering of architectural expression are important for these two photographic disciplines. Thus even a minimal education in architecture is helpful to its photographer.
RESIDENTIALS
Obtaining enough pictures of a building is often conditioned by „befriending“ it over several days as the parameters which impact its life are of unsteady character and intensity. Some of them are: meteorological conditions, working hours of the building, the number of visitors and passers-by, the traffic surrounding it...
APARTMENTS
A view of a designed space will be the most authentic if it is documented in the process of its use, when a human is present in the space and the relationship between the human and the space is readable.
