Achitechual Photography- Evaluation








Architectural Photography – Evaluation

The focus on the photographs above is very similar to each other; they focus mainly on the structure of the buildings.  In the photographs I tried to imitate the focus that is used in the work of Simon Kennedy who is famous for his architectural photography, which is too based in London. The structure of the buildings all have similar type of style which represents wealth which gives off an impression in which makes you think that there is some form of historical background. I wanted to capture the uniqueness of each of the buildings and show off the area in which they are built in which show what type of people live in the area.

The lighting of each photographs use only natural lighting which give the buildings a kind of greyish look. The grey tones are associated with a sense of seriousness and control; which gives off an impression that the life style of the people that live in the area of the buildings are business like. The colours of the buildings are all very similar as they are either a cream or a brick orange with black gates or some for of balcony and unique windows; which also sends a message of wealth and an idea of what the type of person who would live in those buildings are like and what their life styles would be like.

Each of the buildings have some sort of historical background to them for instance if you look at the photographs below you’ll notice it is a form of memorabilia of animals who lost their lives during the World war I and the World war II. Many tourists in which go to London will look at that and see that London may be a wealthy place but it is also known for many historical reasons and also may be a reason in which why it is so wealthy.

If you were able to feel the texture of the photographs id images that they would feel quite rough like sand paper or brick that has been eroded by the acid in the rain. It’s the same with Simon Kennedy’s work I think the texture of his work would feel the exact same way; this is because the buildings look new and sophisticated but they look like they have some stories behind them.


In the images I didn’t really use the rule of three however I did use a grid, which helped me position the camera in a way that would give me a sense of style, and so that you can clearly see the structure of the buildings and the buildings uniqueness.
