Architecture Shoot Preview Assignment


Details

This photo fits the detailed description because it's like zoomed in on the object. You can see the details from up close without dis-focusing from the main object. 


  
Light

This photo fits the lighting description because the light is like traveling around the building and its making different shades and colors of lights. 



Patterns 

This photo fits the pattern description because the building has repeated patterns like on half of the sides of the building. You can see the repetition from up close and then it kind of starts fading away at the sides.   



  Angles and Shapes

This photo fits the angles and shapes description because this building (I think that's what is is) has all these curvy, geometric shapes that seem to all stay in one spot even though there's some points sticking out in different places. 


Surroundings

This photo fits the surroundings description because there's like some old, boring buildings in the back and then this random, funky-looking building stands out. Even though the dull buildings are surrounding the awesome building, the focus doesn't get distracted from the main objective.
