Manual Photomontage: Neon Brutalism, Digital Collage & Color Grading
A purely manual exploration of architectural geometry.
No AI was used in this series. Instead, each piece is a digital collage constructed in Photoshop using multiple original photographs of a single brutalist structure.
By layering, mirroring, and manually manipulating the source imagery, I deconstruct the rigid concrete forms into new, kaleidoscopic compositions.
The aesthetic is defined by a "Punk" color palette—high contrast and vibrant saturation—transforming the grey reality of the building into a graphic visual experience.

Synthetic Architecture
From Deconstruction to Construction
While the series above is about manually editing real photos, this section flips the process. These structures do not exist in real life. I created them from scratch using AI to explore pure geometry and minimalism without the limitations of a physical camera.
The Process
This is not random generation. I use specific prompts to "build" the exact lighting and angles I have in mind. Once the form is generated, I treat it like a raw photograph—using Topaz Gigapixel to sharpen the resolution and Photoshop to manually grade the colors. The goal is to make the artificial look tangible.
