Filip Dujardin is a Belgian professional architectural photographer, his work have been display all over the world: since 2008, Dujardin has exhibited in group and solo exhibitions, and in 2013 he has been part of the MET exhibition After Photoshop: Manipulated Photography in the Digital Age and part of his works are now part of the collection of the MoMA. He studied art history and architecture at the University of Ghent and before turning to design in 2007, he used to create virtual buildings using Google SketchUp - a 3D modeling tool - and Photoshop. At first glance, Dujardin’s photographs of buildings seem almost ordinary, though highly modern, only revealing their structural implausibility upon close examination. He ignores the laws of physics, defying gravity and material, to create exquisite architectural compositions.
