Architectural Photography in Urban Landscapes

My interest in architectural photography undoubtedly stems from my near twenty years of experience of electrical contracting in the construction industry. The black and white, and often dark and gloomy, photographs of Birmingham and London, together with the Black Country, reflect my upbringing in the 1970s and 1980s landscape of the West Midlands, specifically Wednesbury. Wanting to try new photographic genres, and learn new techniques, I tried still life and product photography, but the dark styles persist even here, with few being bright and colourful.
