Best of Architecture Category Winner Images from PX3 2021

February 1, 2022

Architecture is distinct from construction skills in that it is the art and technique of designing and building. The practice of architecture is used to meet both practical and expressive needs, therefore serving both utilitarian and artistic goals. Let’s take a look at some of the amazing architecture photography from last year’s PX3 photography contest winners!

Colored Look uP - Peter Plorin

Monochrome vistas are a common stylistic device in architecture photography. This puts a greater emphasis on shapes and lines. However, in the photographer's Colored Look uP series, he was particularly interested in color strength. For him, they represent the richness and diversity of life in the dark Covid time.

Taken in Düsseldorf, Germany's "Kunstpalast". Nina Papiorek is a German Black&White photographer who specializes in street (architecture) and landscape photography.

Quarr Abbey - Vincent Dupont-Blackshaw

Quarr Abbey is a Benedictine monastery on the Isle of Wight, off the south coast of England. For the past two years, the photographer has worked as a professional photographer. He is an artist who divides his time between Paris and London. His work travels me all around the world in search of fresh areas to tell stories about to my audience. He returns home with unique memories of the moments he records in different places as a result of his travels.
