As an architect, illustrator, and photographer, Dan Hogman is relying on his Fujifilm X system and Gitzo camera support in documenting his architecture, his design process, or his drawing time-lapse videos. Dan is using photography as a way to observe and re-evaluate his own built architecture and architectural sketches, but also as a way to study the existing, historic urban environment.
