Gateway Arch at Dusk — Balthazar Korab

Balthazar Korab captures Eero Saarinen’s Gateway Arch rising against an extraordinary deep-blue twilight sky in this dramatic architectural photograph from St. Louis, Missouri. The monumental stainless-steel curve dominates the vertical composition, with one edge catching warm light while the opposite side falls into deep shadow.

Stripped of visual distraction, the Gateway Arch becomes an elegant study of geometry, scale, light, and color. Korab’s architectural photography emphasizes Saarinen’s remarkable structural form while the saturated blue and violet atmosphere gives the image an almost abstract, sculptural presence.
