architect-turned-photographer amey kandalgaonkar transforms shanghai buildings into noir-influenced stills in his latest series, ‘dark deco’. shot during the day using ND filters, visually striking art deco structures are highlighted against a moving sky. final effects were tweaked in post-production, resulting in a collection of evocative shots filled with mystery and darkness.
