Regarding Fog Architecture Photography

This series captures vast architectural pieces in surreal, foggy landscapes, blurring the line between reality and dreams. The landscape images were captured in California, USA, using an iPhone 14, while the architectural elements were photographed across various locations across Europe. Each architectural piece was shot independently from the landscapes. Achieving the correct perspective in both sets of images was necessary and a significant challenge to ensure seamless compositions.

About Simone Hutsch

I’m Simone Hutsch aka heysupersimi, a passionate graphic designer and enthusiastic self-taught architecture photographer from Berlin, Germany and currently living in London, UK. Self-motivated projects as well as commissioned work trigger my curiosity and keep my creative juices flowing. My work combines art and photography and lets people dive into a different world. I’m using my camera to explore the geometry in architecture. Afterwards, I give the buildings a surreal touch in my retouching process. When I’m outside with my camera, I see the world around me with a different eye. Having an imagination of the final piece is key when I take a picture.

Award Record

With this recognition, Simone Hutsch is a winner of 3 A' Design Awards. The awards span the editions from 2020 - 2021 to 2024 - 2025 of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties: This series captures vast architectural pieces in surreal, foggy landscapes, blurring the line between reality and dreams. All landscape images were taken in California, US, and shot on iPhone 14. The architectural pieces are taken in various places across Europe.
Inspiration: I’m a passionate graphic designer and self-taught architecture photographer. Exploring geometry in architecture is really exciting to me. My work combines art and photography and lets people dive into a different world. I give the buildings a surreal touch in my retouching process.
Research: I'm always looking for ways to improve my work/skills. I have a passion for surreal landscapes in a pastel colour scheme. With this series I finally combined my passion for architecture photography with some outstanding Californian landscape shots. I've used the photo editing program Photoshop.
Challenge: The most challenging part of my work is always the perspective. Angles, pattern, and lines change when one changes the point of view, a good and interesting angle let every building look striking. Finding the right perspective in my existing architecture shot for my new landscape shot was quite challenging, as well as combining them seamlessly.
Realization and Technology: iPhone 14 for landscape photography, Sony Alpah 7rll for architecture shots, Adobe Photoshop for compsoing
Operation and Interaction: The images can be used for a physical exhibition or in any digital format.
Project Duration and Location: I've shot the architecture objects bewteen 2018 and 2024, the landscape shots are all taken in April 2024 and I composed them in August 2024.
