Architect Shoot
DETAILS
I think it matches the type because it closely shows the way the building is. It shows the way the building was created and what the outside looks like.
LIGHT
Its the type because it creates this depth in the picture of darkness. the light makes the picture interesting to look at and lets the mind wonder.
PATTERNS
Its the type pattern because it shows repetition on the design on the columns. Even the columns look exactly alike and show repetition.
ANGLES AND SHAPES
This architecture has different kinds of shapes and angles in the building. It actually makes the building cool to look at.
SURROUNDINGS
I think its a surrounding type of picture because the building "sticks out like a sore thumb". Its not typical for a building to just sit in the middle of the forrest.
