What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say Architectural photography?
If BORING...zzzzzz, was the first thing that popped into your head then wake up because I'm here to tell you it is actually fun. My eyes glazed over the first time my instructor gave me an architecture assignment.
I have never been drawn to squares or rectangles, they are just to tidy and fixed. If I could, I would round every corner in my room into a gentle curve.
Contrary to my previously held bias against squares, what I found was that I could concentrate on architectural details and place them in juxtaposition to organic, details (such as the clouds). In doing this I found a way to balance the strong geometrical lines with soft natural lines.
I won't be calling my self a square lover any time in the near future but I'm glad to say I have found a way to enjoy architectural photography, so I hope you will give it a try too. Sometimes when we try something we think we wouldn't like, we are pleasantly surprised to find the contrary. Never be afraid to try new things, you just may surprise yourself.
