Photo Direction

How to shoot this aesthetic

"Space as protagonist the built environment photographed with the precision it deserves"

Shot list

  • Straight-on symmetrical exterior shot of a facade in flat overcast light, no sky drama needed
  • Interior wide shot with a human figure at the far end for scale, lines converging to a vanishing point
  • Detail close-up of material junction brick meets glass, concrete meets steel at a scale that reads abstract

Lighting

Pre-dawn or overcast for exteriors to eliminate harsh shadows on facades; interiors use the building's own lighting augmented by minimal supplementary sources placed out of frame
