LFA Digital Festival | Photography competition
ON THE POWER OF AN IMAGE: PHOTOGRAPHY, ARCHITECTURE AND COMMUNITY
Brief
What images come to mind when we hear ‘architectural photography’? Are they dazzling geometric patterns, fall of light in space, or heroic views of a building? While all these compositions serve a purpose, they rarely reflect how people use the space. The understanding to the role of architecture are often reduced to aesthetics, as glossy marketing photos remain the primary narrative.
Our homes should always be a refuge, not a prison. At a time when we are spending a lot more of our lives indoors, we invite you to submit a different kind of architectural photography. One that reveal aspects of architecture that positively contribute to your everyday life. These could be spaces that bring the family together, a window that lets you check-in with your neighbour, or a porch light that lets you know someone is waiting for your safe return.

CZWG Architects believe the monoculture of architectural photography that focus on Modernist representations has a significant impact on the way architects design, and how buildings are understood by the public. This competition intends to engage in a different dialogue when considering space and its interactions with people and community.
In collaboration with LFA (London Festival of Architecture) and responding to this year’s theme of Power, we hope to reveal the potential and power of alternative architectural images through this photography competition.
