Cityscape Photography: Shape and Perspective
“Thank you so much for taking this course! The thoughts, ideas, and advice I have shared here are taken directly from my own practice and experience, so I hope you find them helpful and inspiring. It's now time to work on your project, or share it if you have already finished it. In any case, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and explore your own way of seeing the world through your pictures. Practicing the different skills you have learned throughout the course will also be of great help. As a reminder, I have summarized the main steps you should follow to complete your project. • Try to choose a subject with lots of depth and layers; look for a perspective that has a foreground, midground, and background. • Use your phone to scout the vantage point at different times of day to see when the light creates the greatest amount of detail, volume, and mood. • Once you are set up, take your time and watch carefully for small moments within the scene that can add a bit of narrative detail. Be patient! • If the scene has a great deal of contrast, bracket your exposures so that you can afterwards layer the best files in Photoshop. • Lastly, when printing, think about what size works best in terms of a viewer. Try to make a print that works well both at close range and from across the room.

“ Final Project I want to thank you for taking this course. I hope it's meant something to you. I have tried to offer thoughts, ideas, and advice from my many decades of work as a photographer. I do have some last thoughts for you for our final project. One of the toughest things, as I talked about before, was finding a subject. As you go forth, I want you to look at places and see how you respond to them. See if there's a calling to you from them, whether you feel there are ghosts there or whether you feel that there is some presence that you're attracted to. It doesn't matter if it's a bu...”

A course by Andrew Moore
Andrew Moore is a New York-based photographer known for his long-term projects, which record the effect of time on the natural and built landscape. During childhood, he frequently accompanied his architect father to construction sites, developing an eye for mentally blueprinting spaces. He discovered his passion for photography at 12 years old, when he bought his first camera and started developing film in his attic darkroom. From there, he went on to study it at Princeton University before launching his career.
Since then, Andrew has traveled the world capturing it through the lens of his camera. His work is displayed in permanent museum collections around the globe and has been featured in major publications like National Geographic, The New York Times, and The New Yorker. He also won TIME Magazine’s Picture of the Year Award in 2010. He has published eight photography books and made a documentary feature film titled How to Draw a Bunny. In 2014, he was awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship Award.
