Exploring Light and Color through Architectural Photography

"Composition" Noun: The art of combining parts or elements to form a whole.

Architectural Photography is one of the most challenging forms of photography despite the fact that the subject does not move. The way in which different buildings and structures respond to light and how they interact with their surroundings are important questions that one must ask prior to shooting. In this study we will look at how light and color (or the lack thereof) impacts the composition and mood of an image. Each grouping of images will feature a heading dissecting how the photograph was composed. The majority of these photographs were taken in my hometown of Minneapolis.
