MANCHESTER ARCHITECTURE AND ABSTRACTS By Brenda Dean LRPS
In recent years the urban landscape of Manchester has been regenerated with the addition of several contemporary buildings, many of which have won prestigious awards for their designs. Juxtaposed between the traditional architecture reflecting Manchester’s rich heritage, they provide numerous photographic opportunities. The lines, shapes, colours and repeated patterns provide a range of possibilities for abstract compositions whilst the structures, tones and lights around Salford Quays offer opportunities for long exposure shots at dusk.

It was therefore, opportunistic that the RPS offered a course ‘Manchester Architecture and Abstracts’ led by Colin Jarvis ARPS. Generally taught over a day on location, the restrictions surrounding Covid-19, resulted in it being adapted to a hybrid online / on-location approach covering three sessions. I signed up for one of the six available places. Owen Street © Brenda Dean October 2021 Volume 6 Number 7
