Architecture shoot preview assignment



 This is an angles and shapes photo because the picture is taken from a bottom to looking up angle.


This is a surrounding picture because even though there is other building surrounding the main one but it still the main building.

This picture here is a light picture because there is an area where natural and artificial light create a dramatic scene.

This is a pattern picture because it shows rectangular openings repeatedly.
 This is a detail photo becasue it shows the details very close up that are on the building.
