Company: Kris Provoost Photography Limited
Design Philosophy:

Architectural photographers play a pivotal role in bringing buildings to life through their lens. They capture the design, form, and function of buildings, showcasing the architect’s vision. As an architectural photographer with a solid background in architecture, I understand the intricacies of design and translate them into visually compelling narratives.

Having worked as an architect for over a decade, I shifted my focus to architectural photography, bringing a unique perspective to the field. My deep knowledge of building design enables me to tell stories of architecture, highlighting how people interact with these spaces and their impact on the urban landscape. Each photograph I take is a narrative, capturing the essence of the architecture and its relationship with the city and its inhabitants.

My work not only provides architects with high-quality images essential for their marketing materials but also helps them gain global exposure. These images often serve as the first point of contact for potential clients and media, helping architects secure recognition and accolades. Numerous projects I have photographed have won prestigious awards, underscoring the power of well-crafted images.

Moreover, my extensive experience and collaboration with leading architects allow me to document architectural trends and innovations, preserving them for future generations. My photographs not only highlight the innovative elements of design but also emphasize the human experience within these structures. This approach shapes public perception and appreciation of architecture, making buildings more accessible and understood.

Becoming a 40 Under 40 Award winner is not only be a personal achievement but also a recognition of the crucial role architectural photography plays in the world of design and architecture. It acknowledges the effort to bring the architect’s vision to life and share it with a global audience, inspiring future generations of architects and designers.
