The collection features 13 mesmerizing fine art photographs, each taken within the meticulously restored Metrohan building in downtown Istanbul’s bustling heart. This specific section of the structure holds great historical importance, beautifully constructed by the renowned Turkish-Armenian architect Mikayel Nurican in 1912. The images effortlessly capture the enduring allure of the building’s interior spaces. During the post-production process, the photographs were thoughtfully enhanced with subtle nods to the stylistic influences of the esteemed Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershøi, imbuing the collection with a truly distinctive and artistic flair.
Fine art photographs: the process
The images are meticulously printed on 350gsm Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper using an advanced Epson SureArt P800 printer. This specific printing technique ensures that the prints possess outstanding archival properties, allowing them to maintain their quality and mesmerizing appearance for many years.
Camera technique
I used my Sony Alpha a6600 camera with a Tamron 11–19mm f/2.8 lens to capture these stunning images. I then meticulously enhanced the intricate details and tones of the magnificent historic building using Capture One Pro, a professional photo editing software known for its powerful tools and precise colour-grading capabilities.
