Phenomenal Stairway Imagery: The Duplication Effect

An exquisite staircase that caught my attention and held it while visiting one of the National Libraries of France.

I loved the design and architectural structure of this and played with various effects, including cloning, duplicating, and manipulating other elements to add human imagery and a deeper, moodier tone.

Majestic Spiral Staircase at the Vatican Museum

The famed Momo staircase is photographed by everyone from all around the world.

Instead of photographing the full spiral staircase from the top, why not try it from the side showcasing more of the designs on the edges?

Oval Paradise: The National Library of France

The Oval Room at this National Library of France is jaw-droppingly stunning.

Its strikingly modern yet traditional aesthetic is filled with an oval-shaped glass dome. Smaller symmetrical circle-glass designs adorn the ceiling, columns of books are beautifully displayed on the shelves, and artful columns elevate the vicinity, creating one of the most captivating libraries in the world.

Taking Over the World: The Glass Floor Effect

The enthralling details and glass designs at Harpa Concert Hall continue to inspire.

What if we convert the glass window panels into glass floor?

I manipulated this image by cloning and rearranging the glass panels to create transparent, angular floorings and an all over glass effect.

Modern Architecture: The Glass Stairs Effect

Stunning interior design and architecture can be found at the Harpa Concert Hall. The glass window panels give a modern, abstract, and futuristic twist to the scene.

I decided to manipulate the image by flipping it around and altering the position. All of the cool angles turn this into silver, shiny glass stairs (so why not just walk on it?)

Have to say this is the coolest museum staircase ever.

The High Museum of Art may have a wide collection of historical paintings, but the interior and exterior design of the building is completely modern. The walkways present the right opportunity to capture the exquisite architecture from top to bottom. As the light continues to shift throughout the day, the reflections add an extra dramatic flair to the scene.

Land of the Free: Intricate Library Designs & Architecture


One of the most intriguing historical libraries I've ever seen. Exquisite art and mosaic, colorful patterns are etched into all aspects of the Library of Congress, from column designs to chandeliers to ceilings and more. I particularly loved this view of the library interiors as it captures the splendid artistry and the magnificent statue all in one piece. The statue also illustrates the meaning of freedom for us all.
