Luke Brouwers, “Dome Study 1” Abu Dhabi, 2019
An amazing piece of architecture with clean lines. The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art museum located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It runs under an agreement between the UAE and France, signed in March 2007, that allows it to use the Louvre’s name until 2037, and has been described by the Louvre as “France’s largest cultural project abroad.” Wikipedia

About Me
Photography is an art medium that speaks to me the most as an outlet for my creativity. I especially love landscape and architectural photography. Landscape photography gives one time to think, discover and create. It gives me great pleasure to find silence, solitude, simplicity and sometimes coincidence and surprises in nature.
Over the years I have discovered I am naturally draw to black and white (B&W) images, especially in B&W architecture. The biggest reason, other than the timeless appeal of B&W, lies in the fact that B&W architectural photography, by its nature, gives me more freedom to depart from the visual reality. Therefore, for me, the joy of being creative comes from identifying the underlying beauty and potential from a more visible and obvious colour reality, then transforming it to a black and white vision. This holds true for landscape photography as well.
My use of natural light, tonal contrast, colour, texture, and movement are the qualities I look for when I am out there and what makes my images unique. Through my images, I want to offer the world my perspectives and express my connections with the subjects that I capture.
