MASTER URBAN ARCHITECTURE

Architecture is one of the most public forms of artistic expression - each building is a piece of living history that reflects the society, the political realm and the technical possibilities of its age and through their functionality they shape our urban environment and way of life. Architecture also offers incredible potential for photographers. Besides practical necessity, these urban structures embody the culture-specific discourses and ideals of the era. They can simply be documented photographically for posterity, or captured with a creative approach that puts them into a new visual context.

Buildings that have stood the test of time may shape the urban landscape, but cities themselves are constantly evolving most major urban areas are a fascinating blend of modern and historical buildings, with the older structures providing a tangible link to the city's origins. Here, the medium of photography has the possibility to not only record the present for, but to educate about the past. Learn - the language of architecture and it's possible to spot characteristic aesthetic and functional features, and assign different architectural styles to their respective periods of origin.

To showcase these contemporary structures, it's important to explore different photographic approaches. Over the next few pages, we'll show you how to frame the urban environment in all its facets with minimal gear and clever approaches - and also how it's possible to capture buildings of any age creatively.
