Thanks for the shout-out Olivio. It’s a great genre of photography to get into. The Master is Joel Tjintjelaar, he pretty much created this genre, make sure you check out his work also :-)
Thank you very much :) Love you video. You really blew my mind with that. Because I was always wondering why these BW photos in that style look so amazing. I will have a look at his work :)
Olivia, you are so skilled and an expert. Where I struggle to follow your videos is the true mechanics involved with each of your steps. If you could talk through every click and setting that would be fantastic. I am working on a cityscape image and am struggling to do what I see in my eye but struggling massively with how to do it. Thanks
Hi Sean, don't worry. Getting good takes time. Even with all the steps, it still takes some experience to do it in a good way and at the right time. Do it as good as you can right now with your skills and then do it a bit better next time. Don't compare yourself to people who are a lot better, rather compare yourself to what you have done 1 year ago. That way you will be able to see the progress
wow so coo,l would like to see this in more detail, maybe in the live stream? also really like the intro great work. Oh could you do this with your Black & white pack, instead of using nik collection thanks Olivio
Hi Olivio, that's a fantastic video. I'd seen Ben Harvey's original video and had to dismiss as too complex for me. I'm giving it a go, and I'm a NiK user so all is straightforward there. I'm itching to be able to get back into the city to take some more photographs to use the technique on. Cheers! Richard
Thank you. His Video goes a lot more into the process of shooting and the artistic background, so it can feel more complex. I would suggest to watch mine first to get a feel for the technique of editing and then watch his to get a good understanding of how to shoot the buildings and the artistic concept behind it :)
After watching the tutorial several times I’ve managed to follow along as best as I can however there are two things are confusing and bothering me. 1/ You have 2x black masks attached to the Dark Layer but there’s no explanation of why this is? 2/ Then, towards the end of your demonstration you add Another Copy of the picture but you don’t say where the copy was taken from. Is it a copy of the Dark Version? Is it from the Light version? Or…is is yet another copy taken from the original image then put through the Nik Silver efx pro?
Great effect. The sky in the background is totally different from the reflected sky on the building. This makes it very artificially, photoshopped (or in this case Affinitied)/
true, but i kind of like it. If it was a art work, it would be a interesting question about time and architecture - the timeless utopia vs the evolving nature :)
Amazing as always. Please I have a question. My AP and APublisher keeps crashing after update 1.9 in windows 10. There wast any problem before in version 1.8. What can I do because a have to use them to complet my projects for my job?
I have seen that several people have these problems at the moment. Try turning off the GPU support. I hope Serif is working on a Patch, because at the moment my AP is crashing when i am using the unsplash stock option for example
Experimentation and taste. I tried other parts before and than decided it would look more uniform if I choose areas with the same angle. However this is totally up to you. Make it so that the building looks impressive. It hasn't really much to do with how the light would actually fall imho
As I said on the Patreon page, whilst I appreciate some of the techniques at play, having a mismatch between the rendition of the clouds in the sky and the clouds reflected in the windows does my head in. Instantly the image fails. No disrespect intended Olivio it's just that a more critical eye needs to be applied that sees beyond the style of the image.
I'm no AP expert by a long shot, but I know I can take these editing techniques and apply them to my own photos, sky or no sky. In this case, the canvas was the building, not the sky, reflected or not.
True, i didn't think of that, but as a artistic work, i find it actually quite interesting, since it pulls up the question between nature (moving) and ideal (unmoving) 😍
Superb tutorial Olivio. Never thought of using two different Silver Efex conversions and then blending them.
Thanks for the tip. 👌
Great and informative tutorial
Amazing!!
I was looking for a Fine Art process tutorial with Affinity Photo and this one is the best by far. Thanks so much 🙏
I've been waiting for you to do something like this thanks.
That is superb.

Amazing! Sculpting with light on the building. Great ideas I can use on black and white photo.
Thank you :)

What's the track called you use for the intro/ outro and who is the artist? Sounds cool 👍

@@OlivioSarikas Thank you for your time and your answer
@@webphone5167 you are welcome. i hope i could help you at least a little bit
How did you choose which areas to darken? I feel like that's the hard part!

Unfortunately Nik doesn't work on a new M1 Mac.
sorry to hear that. I'm sure they will bring out a compatible version for the new Mac CPUs soon

@@parmstrong6535 I have no idea what you are trying to say but don't feel obliged to try and explain it again. The image is a whole thing.
@@cptbrncls7050 I'm on tenterhooks whilst I await your series of videos explaining all of the effects used in AP.
