建筑摄影:Melon Design Studio, St. Lucia

的项目

坐落在山坡上俯瞰卡斯特里郊区的是一个工作室，该工作室由一家名为Melon Design的建筑师事务所占据。工作室是一个单间，中央有一张白色的长工作台，不超过五、六个人坐在电脑前。中间的桌子上方是一盏屋顶灯。工作室没有空调;相反，它是通过三个主要的“开口”来冷却的。The first is a pair of wide timber sliding doors leading to a timber deck, the second is an entrance doorway made of galvanized metal with an awning, and the third is a drawbridge type of door constructed of timber that is lowered by a pulley system and functions as a deck when open. The entrance to the studio is a courtyard formed by a garden-type screen wall that is attached to a pre-existing stone windmill that now houses the washrooms. The interior floor and walls of the office are all painted white except for a red recessed feature inset wall that forms a visual stop for the central desk. The view over the deck is a curtain of iridescent green bramble-bush, while the other views are of the courtyard. Although this is a tiny single room project, it is really a unique workplace and a rare example of a non-air-conditioned office in the Caribbean.

拍摄照片的注意事项

对我来说，这次摄影任务的挑战在于天气——那是一个阴天，我在那里的大部分时间都下着毛毛雨。与典型的建筑摄影任务不同，当拍摄由于恶劣的天气可以重新安排时，Melon设计工作室的拍摄不能推迟。同时安排拍摄出版当代加勒比的架构,我们只有一天的时间来拍摄每一个项目，因为我们是坐船旅行，需要在不同的地点接一天接一天地预约。如果天气不好，我们就不能在晴天回来拍摄。这张照片是我早期使用Adobe Photoshop的一个标志——我们可以用一些算法来改变天气，这太神奇了!
