#9 Architecture

“Architecture” is one of the oldest themes to be explored in photography.

The photography of architecture may in fact place upon the photographer considerable technical requirements, but as with other specialized areas within the medium, there occurs a distinctive shift in these requirements towards the originality of vision, as opposed to the stress placed on objectivity and precision that were dominant in the past.

Viktor Szemzö

Viktor Szemzö (born 1983) lives in Bratislava, although not in a housing project but in the old town.
