Photography Competition Open Now!
|
 |
|
What does a black and white photograph tell us about a building? Does the absence of colour focus our eyes on the essence of the architecture, or does it simply distract us from the neons and pastels of human life?
Photographs without colour - similar to renders - paint a selective picture of what a piece of architecture really is.
In 2015, Inflection Vol. 02: Projection needs a greyscale image of a building that tells the story beyond its projected facade. It must relate to the theme of 'projection'. The winning photo will be published on the cover of the 2015 issue of Inflection.
Entries close April 27, 2015
