Architectural Photography

Many architectural designs are experienced through photographs. The essence and aura of a design is captured with a single image. My photographic exploration focused on how materiality and formal shifts can hint towards interior conditions. You can imagine egress with slanted geometries, lighting relationships from the exterior to the interior, or even interior spatial qualities all from a simple photograph. Photographic representation can be vital to the interpretation of a design, similar to that of a rendering or a sectional drawing. My images included various sites within Ohio including Columbus, Kent, Akron, and Cleveland. Each city contained a different set of architectural motifs and materials. The goal was to find common ground in the architecture through the photographs that can express interior conditions without knowing the true nature of the designs.
