City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia is a cultural and leisure complex of iconic modern buildings designed by local architects Santiago Calatrava and Felix Candela. The complex is a dream for photographers, the light changes throughout the day casting ever-changing shadows and the reflections in the water surrounding each building bringing a 3D effect to the images. After three full days photographing I still couldn’t stop shooting!
“My photography is the result of being there at the right moment”
