Beautified China was very much the start of my venture into China, now 10 years ago. China gave me a platform to develop myself as an architect, working at Zaha Hadid Architects, Büro Ole Scheeren and gmp von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects. It also gave me a place to transition from designing the architecture to capturing architecture.

Architecture Photography Almanac, a blog focusing on Architecture Photography, recently asked me about how I got my start in China and how I for a couple of years used both architecture and architecture photography to mutually benefit each other.

To quote the interview:
“The more that I would visit and photograph buildings, the better able I was to understand architecture, and the better designer I was becoming.” The flip-side is also true. Provoost credits his experience as an architect in allowing him to “not just take pretty pictures, but really understanding these buildings and the cities they inhabit.”
