I chose places and spaces because I am confident in this theme of taking pictures in different ways involving space. I have also had some experience in taking photos of buildings which fits well into this theme. With places and spaces I believe i can find out many different ways to develop my ideas and take the right photos in the future. I will be focusing mostly on the angles, viewpoint and what is included in the photo like abstract shapes and dramatic lines. Another reason I chose places and spaces is because I enjoy the theme of it and what you have to do, I will also consider including other surroundings to the main focus in the photo.
Sebastian Weiss
Sebastian Weiss is an experienced photographer who focuses on places and spaces. He has gone far into it as you can see he managed to use angles and framing very well in his photos, in these photos you notice his focus on whats's going to be the main part of the photo and his way of angling the camera to make sure there's no other surroundings included in the photo. He has a different style for a lot of his photos in terms of the location, his backgrounds are quite similar being the sky when taking photos of buildings and most of the time the angle of the photos are from the bottom looking up or from the top looking down.
I think this photo is the best because of the simple colour scheme and background. What I like about this photo the most is the angle that its been taken from and the different shadows and lighting on the buildings. In this photograph I see that there is a building with the same shapes around and same colour. There is a use of shadows to create a focus more on the buildings. To describe this photo I would say that it's a building with one main colour, it includes a small plant or tree to have more in the photo. There is a lot of space in the photo shown by the sky included and nothing much around the building. What is effective about this photo is the angle of the photo and deciding how to and what to include of the building.

I think this image is the best out of the 6 I've chosen because of the techniques it includes. The angle that the photographer has decided to take this photo at is what makes this photo good. The angle has created a good view on the photo and it helps understand what this photo is about. There is a good use of lighting here and the photo is very symmetrical which brings another focus to how this landscape is presented. With this image I think the photographer took it in this way to show how this landscape is strong because of the aspects of lighting, wide angles and composition.

My attempt of images
When taking these images I think the things that went well was the focus of the buildings.With these images I think it was a bit tough having to take a new theme of images and using my ideas on what fits places and spaces.
