Simplifying Shapes to Create Abstract Forms
Black and white photography creates a timeless quality to architecture and aids in simplifying forms and revealing luminous light. Photographers love architecture as strong lines, shapes, reflections and beautiful textures draw creatives in to explore and experiment with varying ways to frame and create an image.
Top Tips for great architectural photography
- Check your shooting data prior to taking the photo and select the most appropriate aperture or speed for creative intention
- Be sensitive to the direction of light – and use it to its fullest advantage as illumination creates contrasts, shadows and reflections
- Use varying angles of view – remember to look right up to the top of buildings
- Keep it simple
Enjoy your photography and See you soon…

Shard Opens with a Laser Light Show
Shard Opens With Laser Light Show
The Shard opens with an amazing light show with streaming green laser lights and wows London! Twelve lasers and thirty search lights lit up the London Skyline to celebrate the opening of the Shard. To experience the light show you had to be close to the Shard as the impact was lost at a distance. The Shard is currently Europe’s tallest building and the viewing platform will open to the public in February 2013. Pricey at around £25 for adults – but tempting for a great London view!

Creating dramatic photographic images by exploring the impact of light, hidden, seen and not seen. Your lens sees more than you – so seek and you will find the light! This image was hand tinted in LightRoom, after converting the original photograph to black and white.
