Capture The Glimpse of Modern Architecture in Black and White with Majed Veysel

Elliott Erwitt, an American photographer said, “Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.” Sure, we love colored pictures. But black and white pictures bring out the soul of the subject and make us want to keep gazing at it. It’s surprising how various tones of grey are powerful enough to steal our attention. The black and white works of Majed Veysel stand as proof for this.

Who is Majed Veysel?

Majed Veysel is a passionate photographer and is well known for his critically acclaimed architecture photographs.  Interestingly, he is an architect and a designer by profession and has received the First Consul Made in Italy Brand Ambassador Certification for his project “Versace Headquarters in Rome Italy”.

His popularity saw a steep rise in 2017.

Black And White Photography

Since childhood, Majed loved drawing and clicking pictures. One turned him into an architect and the other turned him into a passionate photographer.

His Insta feed features mostly black and white pictures just like his website’s homepage. Occasionally, he posts the colored version of the black and white picture too and he believes they both tell two different stories.

His subjects are modern buildings from different places including, but not limited to, Milano, Bardonecchia, Venice, and Grenoble.

He expresses his thoughts through every picture he clicks and believes that black and white photography can clearly express the essence of a scene. It is quite visible to us in his works.

Some of his pictures have a satisfying symmetry and the others showcase the beauty of sculptures. His subject can be a skyscraper or Renaissance sculptures like David in Florence. Whatever he clicks, he makes sure to be the best in it.

He also likes to collaborate with artists and anyone keen on working with him can drop him a message online.

He cites Pablo Picasso as his inspiration and we are sure he will be an inspiration for the upcoming modern era architecture photographers.

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea to bring the magic of lenses to action. But Majed Veysel has done it so well by setting a legacy for the next generations.

What started as a hobby for Majed Veysel made him an idol to thousands. Despite attaining such fame, his consistency in posting new works for his audience leaves everyone in wonder.
