Whilst preparing my coursework for the assignment 3 I came across many interesting photographic portfolios that gave me inspiration.
I wanted to share the links to some of them here:
Fernando Guerra - http://www.archdaily.com/45742/ad-photographers-fernando-guerra/
http://www.architonic.com/aiabt/fg-sg/5205309
Eddy Joaquim http://photofocus.com/2010/08/02/emerging-photographer-of-the-year-finalist-–-eddy-joaquim/
Rus Blees Luxemburg http://www.rutbleesluxemburg.com
Simon Kennedy http://www.simonkennedy.net
These are well-known or emerging architectural photographers and their work exemplifyes what makes a modern (and in many ways formal) architectural photograph.
The images show space, construction techniques, they are well lit and well-composed. On ego the common features in these images is a lack of human presence. Where a human element is used, it is used in a very controlled way.
The images look impressive but also slightly artificial as in the real life situations it would be highly unusual to find a building devoid of people / unoccupied. Buildings are created with people in mind so their absence from these places create a different kind of image.
