Architectural influential photography analysis

Hello fellow internet users.

There are many different forms of photography such as advertisement, promotional, fashion, photojournalism, portrait, high street studio work, architectural, medical, illustration, fine art and documentary. In my analysis I will be discussing the different architectural photographers and how their use of visual effect that are shown when appealing to it's audience.

Architectural photography is a very famous form of photograph, it has been around since the 1800's. This form of photograph is the way of photograph the form and structure of buildings in a creative or formal way to show the aesthetically and accurate way of buildings and techniques in photography. 


Andrew Prokos

Andrew Prokos is welling known for his award winning architectural and fine art photographer. when analysing this particular piece of photography, I feel as if Andrew Prokos has made the most sharpest part of this picture would be the centre of the building as I feel as if that this part of the building points out more than there rest going a three diminutional look towards the photograph as if the building is coming out towards it's audience.  The way how this particular picture has been taken the building give the photograph a triangular look as the bottom part of the building is much more wider to the rest of the building as you go further up the photograph the building shape becomes thinner create that triangle form also giving the form of a pyramid. 

I would say that the lighting within this photography piece by Andrew Prokos would be artificial lighting as the lighting in this photograph if coming from inside of the building. This gives the picture a more night time dreamy looking feel towards the audience as this picture as been taken at the night time. I would also say that the lighting and alluring within this photograph would be filtered as the colours have been more exaggerated and has a slightly more tinted blue towards it. 

Hufton and Crow

Hufton and Crow are a duo photographer who are one of the most inspiring and creative architectural photographers that are out there today. The visual elements of this particular piece by Hufton and Crow shows that the most sharpest element of this photograph would be on the inside of the building as it circles around the centre creating a sphere shape towards the photograph. That photograph gives of a clean spacious looks with an alien look as if you were to be in space on a new planet. 

I would say that the lighting of this photograph would web natural lighting as this picture has been taken in the day time rom the outside of the building with artificial lighting shining outwards. The most highlighted part of this photograph would be the the top let hand side o the building as the lighting from the sun of coming from the right hand side of the picture which as causing a shadows to appear in the bottom center of the photograph. 

Berenice Abbott

Berenice Abbott is a famous American Photograph who is well known for her black and white work with New York architectural landscapes. When analysing this particular piece by Berenice I feel that the most sharpest usual elements of the photograph would be the building that has been placed just of the center of the photograph, this photographer has used the rule of thirds when taken this picture. Why I  feel that Berenice has made this particular element the most clearest part of the picture is because it is the most central part of the photograph as it's not completely forward but as you go further back into the picture building start to disappear within the fog of the City.

I would say that this photograph by Berenice Abbott was taken on a winter day in the City centre of New York as if you look further into the picture you can see the foggy weather. From the lighting of the picture I would say that it the picture was taken in the day time with natural lighting. Even though that this photograph has been taken in black and white you can see that the light is shining from the right hand side of the picture as at the bottom of the building on the right you can see a shadow from where the sun hasn't been able to hit the building.
