You can read there many more details about this method and how to apply it, plus a general extensive insight into B&W photography, long exposure, architectural photography, explained from a theoretic and a practical/processing point of view done by me and my co-author. I am dedicating an entire chapter to Photography Drawing (principles, rules and processing steps) in the 424 pages book From Basics to Fine Art вЂ“ B&W Photography, written with co-author Joel Tjintjelaar, award-winning B&W fine art photographer.

The method of Photography Drawing is related to how to shape the objects by using light as a tool, and the concept I developed is about how to process and render an image the same way you would draw it, using the same principles of shaping the light as in classical and architectural drawing, only this time putting them in practice by using different tools than in drawing: processing software instead of paper and black pencil. The innovation of this method is that I am incorporating in the processing workflow the basic rules and principles used in the case of classical and architectural drawing in black pencil, principles that can stand also for other kinds of drawing and even for other visual arts and that I adapted here to photography, especially to black and white architectural photography. Photography Drawing is a personal processing method that I developed and that allows me toВ express my vision in the most creative, correct and impressive way. The image was shot with 8.5 degrees tilt at 45 degrees rotation of the lens, so to create the characteristic tilt-shift blur on specific portions of the image (upper and lower side of the image, diagonally disposed), and it was realized with the technique of long exposure (121 seconds exposure).В To create the long exposure effect I used two stacked ND filters вЂ“ 10+3 stops in total, the Formatt-Hitech ProStop IRND Joel Tjintjelaar Signature Edition.ДЇirst of all let me explain what is Photography Drawing. The image I will demonstrate my workflow on is Fluid Time II, from the series Fluid TimeВ which is an image of the Prudence Plaza building, shot in Chicago using a Canon 5D Mark III camera and a Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L IIВ tilt-shift lens. In this tutorial I will make a demonstration of how I use the Topaz plugins in my Photography Drawingв„ў (PhtD вЂ“ in short) workflow and what I consider as the best plugins and features to use when processing a B&W image, a long exposure architectural photograph in my case, so you can get the results IвЂ™m getting in my work and that brought me numerous awards and distinctions.
