Iwan Baan, a Dutch architectural photographer, was born on February 8, 1975, in Alkmaar, Netherlands. He revivified the historically static art of photographing structures by using unexpected angles, the presence of people, and movement. Baan got his first camera on his 12th birthday. From then on, he started taking pictures.(www.britannica.com)

In addition to Steven Holl and Zaha Hadid, Baan has worked for notable architecture firms including SANAA, Rem Koolhaas / OMA, Herzog & de Meuron, and Toyo Ito. Iwan's work has been featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Architectural Record, Domus, Abitare, and Architectural Digest in addition to his architecture commissions.

Iwan Baan celebrates the relationship between structures and their surroundings in all of his work. His photographs skillfully insert architectural structures into a local cultural context rather than focusing on them as standalone objects. Baan's photographs of architecture have a particularly approachable aspect thanks to their humanistic perspective. (www.daylightandarchitecture.com)

On YouTube, on the TEDx channel, we can watch an interesting lecture by Ivan on architectural photography.

Below are some interesting photos of Ivan.

It is film director James Cameron whose new film premiered at the end of 2022. The title of the movie is Avatar: The way of Water. This director is one of my favourites. I've always admired the special effects he creates. They are very realistic.
