Architectural Photography of Ayios Sozomenos

Architectural Photography of Ayios Sozomenos, close to Nicosia, Cyprus.

This village was destroyed during the Turkish-Cypriot/Greek-Cypriot conflicts during the 1960′s that lead to the partitioning of the island. A very strange, affecting and eerie place, if interested you can read the Time magazine report of this battle here:

I have photographed here a number of times. It is as beautiful as it is unsettling.

I used a large format camera, the Toyo VX125b, Rodenstock 135mm f 5.6 Apo-Sironar-S, Schneider 72mm f/5.6 Super-Angulon XL lenses. Film was Fuji Pro 160NS.

Architectural Photography of Jersey Energy From Waste Facility by Hopkins Architects

Architectural photography of the Jersey Energy From Waste Facility by the magnificent Hopkins Architects: definitely one of my favourite schemes to photograph so far. Jersey is stunning, and this ballsy, powerful, high-tech industrial piece of architecture makes a fantastic addition to the island. The hall is one of the most impressive spaces I have seen, and would make a great restaurant… Not only beautiful, this building makes a significant, positive environmental impact by burning waste produced not only by Jersey but also by neighbouring Guernsey, and cleanly converting it into energy.

I used a large format camera, the Toyo VX125b, Rodenstock 135mm f 5.6 Apo-Sironar-S, Schneider 72mm f/5.6 Super-Angulon XL, Rodenstock 210mm f 5.6 Apo-Sironar-S lenses. The film was Fuji 160NS in 4×5”.

Some of these photographs were featured in the new Hopkins Architects monograph, Hopkins 3.

This housing scheme was designed by Tompkins-Rygole Architects. The project achieves a high-density of residences in a collective housing scheme in Rumbeke, a suburb in the region of Flanders, Belgium. Despite this density, each residence maintains uncompromised privacy, while still enjoying a a large amount of natural light. The scheme embodies the practice’s usual philosophical approach and sensitive deployment of materials.

London architectural photography by Simon Kennedy of Tower Bridge House by Rogers Stirk Harbour Architects, an energy-efficient speculative office building. The design of the building is intended to provide a visual link between the historic Docklands and the City of London, and the modern glass facade resonates proportionally with the traditional warehouse buildings adjacent to it.

These photographs were made using a Canon Eos 5d mark ii, Canon EF 17mm f4 TS-E, Canon EF 24mm f3.5 TS-E, Canon EF 45mm f2.8 TS-E, Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L.

Architectural Time-lapse

The creation of Architecture time-lapses (timelapses) combines two passions – architectural photography and video editing and production. An architectural photographers knowledge of light and composition can be combined with a video producers sense of rhythm and editing. Like most things video-related, time-lapses are enormously time-consuming to create. Like many things video-related, they are very satisfying to complete.

Architectural time-lapses are a superlative way to show the path of the sun across the facade of a building, the way a building changes in the light as it gets dark or as the sun comes up, and the way people use and interact with a building.

Here are a couple of architectural time-lapses I have made recently. The first is one commissioned by the BBC to celebrate the opening and inhabitation of its incredible new headquarters in Portland Place London:
