Belle van der Woodsen is a German 3D artist living and working in New York for Binyan Studios. Her career began around three years ago after making the decision not to finish her master’s degree in architecture. Working for top architectural visualization studios such as Recent Spaces and Binyan Studios has enabled her to grow as an artist as well as a designer. As a former architect, she found a new passion for interior design, and her expertise led her to work on international projects that are published on Dezeen and ArchDaily. Being a role model in the world of archviz for women, she was also featured in the book Great Talks about Photo Realism II by Bogdan Sasu, where you can learn more about how she approaches her work.
We caught up with Belle van der Woodsen to ask her a few questions, and she also provides a step-by-step guide detailing how she created one of her projects, A Love Letter to Paris.
Q Do you have a background in 3D design or are you self-taught?
A I studied architecture in Germany and Austria where I also worked as an architect. After five years I realized I was already burned out doing architecture, but very randomly I found out that I liked visualization a lot. I attended a weekend workshop which taught me very basic V-Ray and Photoshop techniques. This made me think about turning this into a career, but I didn’t know how back then.
