No really, it's a building


Architecture is a popular subject in all forms of art.  People really appreciate the design, geometry and physics that goes into building structures of all sorts.  When attempting to capture them in photography, the key is to focus on a single key feature, and try to capture it in a creative way without revealing everything.

When displaying the above image, people often ask me "What is that?"
Of course after a few seconds they realise that it is a building of some sort, however those few moments of curiosity are what gives this image its unique appeal.

The Girl With Blue Eyes



Many elements need to come together to create a fantastic image.  Here, I wanted to capture the child's interaction with the animals.  Through patience and timing, I was able to isolate the moment of curiosity.  The child was encouraged to pat the animals, however she was in unfamiliar territory and this is evident in her tentative body language.
