A look at Thomas Holtkötter’s incredible Caixa 1 staircase picture a couple of weeks ago set one of my goals for a UK vacation: try to approach this amazing simplicity and composition mastery on staircases myself.

A long lens was used to compress the perspective and highlight verticals, inspired by Viera da Silva paintings. Slightly under-exposed to give the […]
