Finally some new photos on the site and this time they are from a shoot I did in Antwerp a couple of weeks ago. The idea was to shoot the Antwerp justice building at dusk. It was something I wanted to do for a long time since I drive by that building every day and it is, in my opinion, one of the iconic buildings in Antwerp. Another reason for the shoot is the fact that I’m making a series on Antwerp for a photography store that shows different scenes from Antwerp in not the most obvious way. I think the justice building is not only a good subject at dusk, but the hyper-modern face of the building shows of the contrast between the old historic side and the new modern side of Antwerp.
A little “tourist” information about the justice building, "Justitiepaleis" in Dutch. The building was designed Richard Rogers, the man behind designs as Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Millenium Dome in London. It was opened officially on the 28th of March 2006 and is considered one of the most important architectural highlights in Belgium of the 21st century.
I love the building but I have to say that it’s a bit of a challenge to get a good shot of it. The most accessible side of the building is on the Bolivar place in front of the building and in this shoot I limited myself to that vantage point. You can get shots from behind the building, but that’s much more difficult because most of the space behind the building are highways and private grounds. It won’t be the last time I shoot this building, but I have to say I am happy with the result of this shoot.
You can find the album on my site here. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
