It’s almost dizzying! Sometimes he is looking up, sometimes

looking down – interesting perspectives on architecture and

colour composition always emerge. With the “Staircase Dreams”

series, photographer Peter Plorin captures views of various

staircases from around the world and throughout different

eras. This change in perspective offers fresh views of everyday

objects, focusing on lines and shapes, making the extraordinary

visible within the ordinary. Plorin, who grew up in a small town

in the Lower Rhine region, was influenced by the local industrial
heritage and architectural diversity. Before dedicating himself

to photography, he worked as a fine artist, honing a precise

eye for spatial depth and specific principles of composition. His

photographic art now primarily focuses on expressive and high-

contrast subjects, particularly in the realms of architecture and

landscapes. Quite often, his interior and exterior shots exude a

touch of mystique and an enigmatic ambiance. The artist aims

to reveal the mysterious and the intangible, aiming to evoke

emotions. The consistent success of his photographs, which

have already been recognised with over 50 international awards,

demonstrates how effectively he achieves this goal. Among

these, the artist’s participation as a finalist in the prestigious

Sony World Photography Awards in the architecture category

is particularly noteworthy. Another significant achievement

was Plorin’s first-place finish and the Gold Star Award at the

esteemed ND Award 2022 for the “Staircase Dreams” project

showcased here. For those interested in viewing more of these

striking architectural photographs, you can find them on the

artist’s website and social media channels.
