Belgian Philippe de Gobert leads two passions in parallel. Photography of architecture and art. De Gobert begins by constructing a model of a place either imagined or inspired by an existing space, often an artist's studio or an emblematic piece of architecture. He tends to choose sober, spartan and luminous interiors. The model is then placed on a plinth in the studio to be lit in the same way as one would illuminate a cinema set. Following the rules of architecture photography, he produces an image which is then printed in large format, in black and white.
