The Alfred E. Smith Building
Alfred E. Smith State Office Building, Albany — Fine Art Print
Black and White Art Deco Architectural Photography Print
This black and white photograph depicts the Alfred E. Smith State Office Building rising through fog, its vertical façade softened by distance and atmosphere. A flock of birds cuts across the upper frame, introducing a brief, unsettled motion against the building’s rigid geometry.
The image emphasizes scale and restraint. The grid of windows and stepped massing read as steady and unyielding, while the fog erases detail and tempers the building’s authority. The birds, momentary and uncontained, shift the balance of the scene, giving the photograph a sense of tension between permanence and passing time.
This black and white fine art print is intended for collectors drawn to architectural photographs that explore form, mood, and contrast—images that allow structure and atmosphere to share equal weight and unfold slowly within a space.
Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints are hand signed/numbered on museum quality archival fine art Hahnemuhle Baryta paper. In my opinion there is no better medium to print and display fine art photographs on. Its surface is smooth with a subtle texture, and a slightly warm base that produces very pleasing B&W prints reminiscent of platinum prints and meets the highest industry standards regarding density, color gamut, color graduation, and image sharpness while preserving the special touch and feel of genuine art paper.
