Patience is important but sometimes I have to react quickly to changing light or perhaps a certain person or group of people moving through a frame. As an architectural photographer I correct perspective using an Arca Swiss F Metric camera with Rodenstock lenses.
I am very aware of colour, form, proportion, texture & light in my architectural images. I like using silhouettes. Drawing the eye more into the frame.
I draw upon my training as a designer within my photography. I studied as a Product Designer at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
Creating architectural images is about compressing three dimensional forms into a two dimensional image. The opposite of what I was doing as a student, as we were drawing in 2d to create 3d models. It is quite a sculptural process in reverse, the final image should be considered as a unique piece in itself.
