Researching Architectural photography

Matthew weinreb


Matthew weinreb is a international  know photography
He specialized in landscapes and architectural photography
He has one many awards and had hes work publish around the world Matthew was the first winner of the European architectural photographer of the year

He became a photograhy1981whist living in new york and working in the cityana photographic gallery , a specialist exhibitor of images of Manhattan .
He was inspired by the photography's and went out to capture the architecture of the city .

                                  He is a example of some of hes photos


In this photo I love the leading lines of the decking to the window and the way he has captured the artificial lights inside and outside this building there are many great shapes and show a great rule of thirds .


A beautiful street photography with amazing colours and texture
I luv the composition of the photo and the leading lines


I luv the images because they are took in the dark or as it is becoming dark 
I luv the different shapes and composition of the photos 
I enjoy taking Architectural photo's more in the dark 
because there is normally less people around and i like how the building looks different with the artificial  light .



This is a interior shot i like how you are drawn to look down the corridor with the many lines and over all composition of the photo.

This are two more night shots
Both shots are facing upwards capturing
 great views of the architecture.





The first one is a shot looking right up its a good angle , most people would probable take it straight but this composition makes the photo stand out more .

The second shot of some sort of structure captures the moon in the background 
I suspect it was took with a small aperture to get the moon in focus as well as the bridge .

Hes photography has appeared in many books and he has published nine converted books on London , Paris , Spain , and Portugal .


The staircase is a beautiful photo with good leading lines to the bottom and the 2nd book has a image of a building in sunlight , its a good composition with lines and shadows on the building .


Hes books are sold all over the world the images from this books show London's Architecture
