Wide Angle Angles
Wide Angle Angles uses a wide lens to build frame-filling geometric harmony—strong diagonals, anchored corners, and spatial exaggeration used intentionally as structure.
The Wraparound
The Wraparound angles the lens at a street corner so the scene wraps from one street into another—implying motion, direction, and neighborhood context.
Above & Below
Above & Below photographs vertical contrast—elevation, descent, stacked infrastructure—to make the city’s layered height and depth part of the story.
The Power of Lines
The Power of Lines uses linear elements—especially power lines, but also rails, curb edges, shadows, fences, beams—as deliberate devices for leading, framing, dividing, and shaping the image.
Street-Eye Views
Street-Eye Views lowers the camera close to the street and tilts slightly upward to amplify scale, presence, and mood—making the city feel taller, heavier, and more immersive.
Repetitions
Repetitions uses recurring shapes, colors, and lines to create rhythm—pattern as the subject, with sameness (and small variations) doing the storytelling.
Vanishing Points
Vanishing Points uses deep street views, vanishing points, and receding lines to pull the viewer forward through space.
Long Exposure
Long Exposure makes time visible by using extended shutter speed to render motion as streaks or blur while keeping structural anchors sharp.
Urban Geometry
Urban Geometry is the strategy of foregrounding form—triangles, grids, arcs, rectangles, diagonals—so shape becomes the primary language of the photograph.
Upright Alignment
Upright Alignment uses perspective correction (often Lightroom Upright) to present a scene with deliberate, head-on stability—verticals vertical, horizontals level—so structure becomes clean and graphic.
Crosswalks
Crosswalks uses crosswalk markings as deliberate compositional structure—leading lines, rhythm, and depth that pull the viewer into the frame.
Capturing Scale
Capturing Scale is the deliberate inclusion of space and context to communicate magnitude—of size, density, openness, or activity.
Bigger Than The Frame
Bigger Than The Frame makes a subject feel immense by cropping so the viewer infers continuation beyond the photograph.
Shadow Projections
Shadow Projections are crisp, geometric shadow-shapes cast by manmade structures—fences, railings, fire escapes, awnings, lamps—thrown onto walls and pavement as grids, stripes, ladders, and hard-edged diagonals.
