{"product_id":"waterfront-building-oslo-norway","title":"Modern Oslo Building Square Black and White Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis square Oslo architectural photography print brings a striking upward view to your wall. Repeating balconies rise from concrete supports into soft clouds in a black and white study of a modern waterfront building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe viewpoint was what made me stop. I photographed this modern building on Oslo’s waterfront looking almost straight upward from beneath it. In black and white, the corner rises into the square frame as a strong pointed shape, with balconies, windows and pale surfaces repeating on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wanted to get close enough for the building’s scale to become part of the composition. Concrete supports sit beneath the projecting corner, while the floors above seem to narrow as the eye climbs. The view leaves the street and waterfront outside the frame, concentrating instead on the structure immediately overhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balcony rails give the facade a finer rhythm. Their narrow vertical lines contrast with the larger panels and window openings, while deeper shadows define the undersides of the projecting balconies on the right. I like how these different scales of detail remain readable within the simple overall outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClouds provide a softer shape behind the building. They prevent the sky from becoming a flat background and make the sharp corner feel more pronounced. Monochrome keeps the light and shadow clear, with no colour to compete with the geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArchitecture interests me most when a viewpoint changes how I experience an ordinary structure. Here, a building becomes an arrangement of converging lines and repeated edges, still recognisable but more abstract than a view from across the street. It is that shift, from a practical place to a strong visual shape, that I wanted the photograph to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2023\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606591549519,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40576291110991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606564745295,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40576291143759,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602038718543,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40576291176527,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185214922831,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Modern-Oslo-Building-Photography-From-a-Low-Corner-View-1.jpg?v=1792004526","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/waterfront-building-oslo-norway","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
