This fine art photograph (2024) captures Renzo Piano’s iconic Bigo in Genoa’s Porto Antico through a surreal and dynamic lens. Taken with a fisheye lens, the image creates a spectacular optical illusion in which the imposing white structures appear to lift the land and boats out of the sea. The sophisticated monochromatic toning in copper tones enhances the atmosphere of the photograph, making it a striking, timeless addition to contemporary indoor décor.

Size - 29,7 x 42 cm. The print features an artistic black border with the caption Porto Antico. Genoa, Italy. Recommended for decorating professional studios or residential areas. The piece is already prepared for printing and display, also without a passe-partout.

Paper - Photo Rag: for a glossy, art gallery-style look, it renders deep blacks and rich copper tones. Smooth Art Silk: it has a subtle silky sheen, to enhance the reflections. Bamboo: it’s an excellent “eco-friendly” choice.

Author’s recommendation - For this shot I highly recommend German Etching paper: it has a striking texture, almost like aquarelle paper. Ideal for adding a three-dimensional quality to the clouds and the port’s structures.
