About

This dramatic architectural photograph captures the textured stone facade of a classical building from a low perspective. Strong diagonal beams of golden sunlight cut across the dark recesses and deep shadows, highlighting the ornate cornices and window recesses. The composition emphasizes the weighty structure and strong vertical lines of the architecture. The interplay of deep shadow and bright highlights creates a high-contrast cinematic atmosphere. Photographed in Sydney by Noel Mclaughlin.
