The art of photographing something as still as a building is to play with perspective. This helps you create a sense of flight or even a sense of shrinking.
A building’s image should express the architect’s philosophy without sacrificing functionality.
Accentuating the curves of a building sometimes calls for a more straight-on perspective, but not necessarily in a lateral way. You still want to evoke awe.
I also shoot bridges. They are a part of any architectural landscape.
Tilting my perspective, this building became a fan-like object.
The more I travel, the more people open up.
Friends are fun models.
Strangers can be familiar.
I’m known for taking my camera everywhere, even to casual get-togethers. You never know what you might capture.
Perspective —
Always try to change it. I climb, crawl, and circle for the best shots.
To get a powerful landscape shot, you have to look at your subject as prey. Stalk it slowly like a lion. Take your time circling it like a vulture.
Holistic View —
Cities are all-consuming. There are so many levels of life in one place. People are hustling to make it another day, but there are small pockets of peace in a metro ride.
Public Transportation —
Modern cities are all about efficiency, but the older ones are about adaptability and change. Certainly, the New York subway system and the London tube are exemplary.
1 Million Universes —
A person’s view of the world is singular. Thus, a major city brims with a million perspectives, each different from the next. It’s mind-boggling.
