Architecture SHOOT preview assignment.

This photograph meets the expectations of detail, it shows the details of the building, such as the bricks and it's texture. 

This photo meets the the criteria of light because it sets a good mood into the picture. This photograph also shows light going through a building with shadows. 

In this picture it shows pattern, the building has horizontal lines that are around the building. I think it shows pattern because the horizontal lines are being used over and over throughout the building. 

I think this photograph shows angles and shapes because the architecture of this building isn't just plain rectangles and squares, they're different shapes and sized creating a building. Although the door isn't rectangle, you can still distinguish the door from the building.

In this picture it is showing it's surroundings, not just a simple building. The picture is showing people in the city, meaning that the building behind the people isn't located in the middle of nowhere, it's actuarially in a city.
