THINK OF WHAT THIS BUILDING MEANS TO YOU It’s good if you have a personal connection with the building like I had with the Opera House as it becomes more “approachable”. You don’t have to photograph all of the building to capture it, you can photograph parts of it – windows, doors, decorations and so on. Maybe that window on the second floor has a special meaning? Maybe that little crack always captured your attention? If you don’t have a personal connection with a building or are not taking the photo for a particular challenge or task, try doing some research about it, especially if it’s a building that is all too easy to overlook. Find out when it was built, by whom, the original idea behind it, special design elements and so forth and see how your perspective (metaphorically and literally) changes. ENGAGE ALL YOUR SENSES If possible, and of course if it is safe, get as close to the building as possible. Then pause. Breath, look closely, touch. Is it made of brick or wood or another material? Is it cold or warm? Ask yourself – what do I feel? Sometimes when you see rural derelict houses you don’t need to engage your senses as these buildings share their centuries-old stories with everyone who is passing by. With industrial buildings however, it can be more difficult but try to ‘break the walls down’ and see something unusual in the building whether it is about shapes, sunlight, frames or other elements. You may also be able to capture scale in an interesting way and paint a bigger picture of the building if you have a chance to distance yourself and find a new and interesting perspective – a roof or window view from another building such as a rooftop cafe may give you new angle. PHOTOGRAPHY HAS THE POWER OF CAPTURING MOMENTS AND STOPPING TIME If you have an opportunity to photograph buildings in your own town or while you are travelling, don’t hesitate and don’t over think – just do so. We all like seeing and comparing what the place looked like 50 or 100 years ago and thanks to other photographers of those times we can do so! So let’s ‘encapsulate’ history and preserve it for future generations. 76 NZPhotographer
