I have chosen to create a mini project and capture the architecture in different places such as London and town. I chose to create my own project because I love taking photos of very different and beautiful buildings which draw my eye. My aim is to not only capture very well focused images but to also show the true history of buildings. I will be researching many photographers such as Berenice Abbott, Iwan Baan and a friend of mine Amy Chan who have their individual style which really inspired me to do my own project to show my own take on architecture.
Mood boards:
Berenice Abbott:
Berenice Abbott is an American photographer well known for her portraits and architecture. Abbott's New York city photographs of architecture are her most popular as she took photos of very urban designs. She was able to capture the buildings of the 1930s.
Iwan Baan:
Iwan Baan is a Dutch photographer well known for his photos in architecture. He takes very modern and new photos and adds all the texture of the buildings. Baan takes photos of very isolated buildings which brings out his work and individuality much more.

London:
Here is arrange of photos from London I took using my phone I was able to capture an array of buildings and I wanted to show there true history.
Plan for Shoots: I plan to take pictures of different buildings in London.
Name: Emily Moorhouse
Project Title/ shoot number: Architecture
Description of aims for shoot: I aim to take well focused photos and capture the history of different buildings around London.
Links with Photographers: I want to make links and take inspiration from Iwan Baan as he takes very modern photos. I also want to imitate Berenice Abbott as she took very vintage photos and used lots of angles.
Location: London
Which compositional rules will I use?
I want to use birds eye view to capture the buildings from a higher view to allow the whole building to be captured. I might also experiment with birds eye view to show a more looking up angle.

Photos taken in London:
For these photos I went to London and captured the true beauty of London through its architecture. I believe that I was able to show London from different angles and show how people view things differently. When I was walking around London I could see all this magnificent art.
