Georgian architecture - inspiration for presentation

The following are creative ways of presenting architectural photography. Beomsik Won's 'Archisculptures' feature photographs of buildings that have been piled up to create a single entity.

Edgar Martin's photograph removes the distracting background, thus focusing the viewer's attention on the central building. The black also creates a sense of surrealism and an otherworldly tone due to it being removed from its real world setting.

Georgian Architecture concept


Following on from my visis to Stamford (one of the locations of the previous shoots), I was quite fascinated by the Georgian architecture, and the 600 listed buildings within it. So, this concept is focused on this style of architecture and its defining characteristics.

The central focus point of this project is to examine the aesthetics of Georgian architecture (e.g. doors, windows, chimneys, porticos), demonstrating its symmetry and proportions, and the subtext behind them.
At this point, I have not been able to return to Stamford, so at this stage I do not have any additional photographs to bring to the tutorial, but would welcome your feedback on the way forward.
