PROJECT PLAN.

My project will not only involve building images but the images will communicate buildings' relationships with their contexts, space, and time.

-I will shoot in a variety of weather conditions and times of the day such as sunsets and sunrise hours.

-Consider good lighting

-Look for a unique angle

- Camere techniques ( mobile camera with manual setting) since I will do the project using my phone.

Apart from doing the practical part of the project, I will also do research on various photographers like Michael Wolf, Eugene Atget, Walker Evans.
