About the artwork

"Kop van Zuid in black and white" is a fine art photograph that uniquely captures Rotterdam's characteristic skyline, the Kop van Zuid. Using a long shutter speed during a sunny day, a high-contrast image was created, with the blue sky appearing to be completely black.

The choice of black and white emphasises the architectural details and geometric shapes of the buildings. The long shutter speed creates a dynamic effect, capturing movement in the sky and water. This creates a sense of energy and vibrancy in the photo.

The high contrast adds to the dramatic look of the photo, powerfully highlighting the buildings on Kop van Zuid. The details and textures of the architecture are enhanced, creating an intriguing image that invites the viewer to explore the photograph in every detail.

The choice of black and white also contributes to the timeless and artistic look of the photo. It removes the distraction of colour, making the composition and shapes even more prominent. The result is an image that feels both contemporary and timeless.

"Kop van Zuid in black and white" is an inviting artwork that takes the viewer into the dynamic and modern world of Rotterdam. It is a visual representation of the power and beauty of architecture, captured with an artistic eye and a sense of composition.

This fine art piece can be a great addition to various interiors, where it will form a statement piece. It can attract attention in a living room, office space or gallery, and spark a conversation about the unique beauty of Rotterdam and the architectural delights of Kop van Zuid.

I am proud of this picture and hope it will inspire viewers to look at the city of Rotterdam with new eyes and appreciate the fascinating details of Kop van Zuid.
