What is architecture?
Architecture is pictures being taken of buildings and structures. There are different types of subjects when it comes to architectural Photography – it can cover tall buildings, architecture Photography is really more about the design than the building itself. When it comes to design, an Architecture Photographer may highlight some of the details that make a building look pleasing.
Architectural Photographers
Margaret sttratton
Professor Margaret Stratton is a photographer, and educator. Stratton her video, Kiss The Boys and Make Them Die, received the grand festival prize for the Best New Film/Video of 1995 by the Canadian Film Board and was screened at the Berlin Film Festival.
Analysis of picture
The photographer changes the mood of the image by changing the color to black and white. This creates an dull and scary atmosphere. The photographer uses leading lines to create a never ending walk way. She uses leading lines to draw your eyes into the middle of the picture. The image draws your eyes to middle of the picture. The image is also under exposed also the texture of the image is rough not smooth. This photographer likes to show the history of the building and the marks we make as humans on it. I like this idea and may use a historical building in my shoots.
Candida Hofer
German photographer Candida Höfer has a special interest in documenting the design and grandeur of public spaces like library reading rooms, palaces, zoos, and theaters. Her images are nearly always devoid of people.
Analysis of picture
In this image the photographer use's very bright colors to make a bright image. This pictures mood gives you a happy mood and happy atmosphere. This has probably been created by over exposing the image. You can see in this image she has used her viewpoints to make the picture symmetrical.The photographer has taken the image from a straight view. She also uses a very big depth of field to cover all the great colour used in it. The level of detail in this work is fantastic. I like this idea and will try to take photos that are straight on or symmetrical.
Berenice Abbott
Berenice Abbott was one of the photographers in the1920's temporarily reversed the Course of Empire, and transferred the center of American cultural life to Paris. She arrived and continued her studies with Emile Bourdelle. In 1923 she became an assistant in the photography studio of Man Ray, and two years later she first saw the photographs of Eugene Atget.
Ezra Stoller
Analyzing pictures
The photographer changes the image to black and white to make you focus on the building more then any thing else. This gives an atmosphere of a moody image. By the photographer using leading lines this draws your attention to the main focus of the architecture.
The use of white and black makes the colour contrast effective. The photographer has took the picture from an worms eye view and clearly considered the framing. This view points shows off the covered shape of the architecture. The photographer has set her camera setting in a large of depth of field I know this as the picture is in focus in the background.this picture is over exposed I know this as the sky is too bright. I think she has done this on purpose to add to the contrast of black and white.

Plans for my shoots
-For my first shoot I will be taking pictures of old cathedrals and churches. This relates to my architectural photographer Margaret Stratton because she took pictures in the style of this. For this shoot i will be using Photoshop to make the pictures black and white.
I will be taking the pictures outside and I will be in first person.

Plan shoot 1
-For my first shoot i will be taking pictures in the style of my photographer called Margaret sttratton I will be using the pictures I have taken and using Photoshop by editing it. By adding writing on to it.I will take my pictures so that they are symmetrical just like her photos are.
My best photo
This is my best picture because it gives me a very dark and mysterious look which shows a dark effect on the image. The reason for me editing this image like this is because my photographer Margaret sttraton pictures look like this.In this image you can see that I have used perspective to draw your eyes down in line of the photo. Also I have used the difference in contrast by using an black and white filter. This also links to her style of work.
My worst picture
This is my worst picture because the image is out of focus and the picture is over exposed also it is too bright Because of this you can not see what is happening in the picture.
Plans for my 10 hour exam
-For the 5 hours of my exam I will be editing my pictures on Photoshop changing the colours of the image into black and white. Then on power point I will crop and change the images to make symmetrical image's I will be doing a minimum of 5 edits for this shoots.
-For the 5 hours of my exam I will be doing the same but making circular patterns with my pictures. The way I will be doing this is by cropping out different shapes of my pictures then symmetrically putting them together to make a pattern.

Work completed in 10 hours
Firstly I took shapes by cropping to a shape in Power point or Photoshop. I had to experiment. Some shapes showed the architectural features better than others and this took longer than expected.
I also made my work black and white like my artist Stratton. I then flipped the image to create symmetrical images like Candida Hoffer. I have experimented with simple symmetry and more complicated symmetrical designs. The circular ones were the hardest.
