Project Aims and Objectives:   By the end of the project, I will create a photographic project that will collect 10 images.

I will frame and compose my images in-camera. These will be colored and will quality check in Lightroom or Photoshop. These will then be placed in portfolio page on my website with a conceptual introduction   Research to be carried out:   James Maher   Ansel Adams   David Brookover   Photography techniques   Software/Digital Tools to be used:   Lightroom, mobile phone, photoshop

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
