Within stone, glass, and shadow, the city whispers its own kind of poetry. Each line and reflection carries a trace of human rhythm — order and tension, silence and structure. These photographs seek the harmony between architecture and atmosphere, between the built and the fleeting.
A study in rhythm and precision, “Symphony of Angles” explores how architecture can echo the cadence of a city. The building’s geometric planes rise like overlapping chords, each line catching the light in a different key. With motion softening the sky behind it, the structure feels both anchored and alive — a reminder that even in the built environment, there is music in the meeting of form, shadow, and air.
Through the Archway
Beneath the vaulted stone, night gathers like a held breath. Light spills along the arches in slow, deliberate strokes, guiding the eye toward the crown tower rising in quiet splendour.
Here, time folds gently. The echo of footsteps long gone lingers in the corridor’s hush, while the illuminated college stands as both sentinel and storyteller — a place where the past leans forward to meet the present.
Through this archway, the city pauses, and the old stones remember.
"Inside The Corkscrew" explores the quiet tension embedded in urban infrastructure. The spiralling ramp becomes a kind of concrete labyrinth — a place where movement is implied but absence dominates. Light pools against worn surfaces, revealing textures shaped by time, repetition, and anonymity. Within this utilitarian space, architecture turns unexpectedly poetic: curves soften the brutal edges, shadows deepen the sense of depth, and the city’s usually overlooked geometry becomes momentarily intimate.
The Silent Quadrangle
Set within the heart of Marischal College, the inner quadrangle reveals a powerful interplay between symmetry, stone, and sky. The long-exposure clouds draw the eye toward the tower, amplifying the stillness of the architecture below. In this moment, the space feels both monumental and intimate — a place where history, geometry, and atmosphere converge. This image celebrates the quiet strength of Aberdeen’s iconic granite heritage, capturing a fleeting breath of calm in a structure built to endure.
Beneath the V&A
The V&A Dundee reveals a different personality from below — a world of shadow, water, and sculpted geometry. In this quiet perspective, the building’s dramatic forms become abstract rhythms of stone and light, curving and folding toward the city beyond. The reflection pool acts as a dark mirror, softening the architecture’s sharpness and drawing the eye along its fluid path. This image explores the balance between tension and calm, where modern design meets the stillness of an unexpected viewpoint.
