April 2021- Open Call
This August Architecture challenge can be really be taken in any direction.
Details, wide angle, particular architecture design, your home; we want to see it all. With these super sunny days in the U.K, we can create hard light or wait till sunrise or sunset to achieve softer light.
Nothing like a blue sky in the background! But wait, you can also create night photography with long exposures or create multiple exposures.
Chose a building you like and walk and look and take the time. Do the research, bring a tripod and a self-timer. Why do you want to take this picture? What do you want your audience to feel?
We look forward to seeing your submissions.

The winner of this Challenge is Lisa Shen
Lisa’s image is a beautiful illustration of symmetry. You don’t get much better than this with balance. On an emotional level, it gives a feeling of stillness, space, and reflection. There are many subtle contradictions from long diagonal lines meeting with a point contrasting the softness of the water and the sky, the life shown by the full length of trees compared to a side that is sparse, perhaps reflecting as Lisa comments “the brilliant or bloody”. Excellent image. Congratulations again Lisa.
Lisa’s comment:
This is a photo of one of the four turrets in the Forbidden City with a symmetrical structure. It has witnessed the 600-year history of ancient to modern China, however brilliant or bloody. I would like show the beauty of very traditional Chinese architecture and the very decent history of China.
