Architectural Photography by Wolfram Scheible, Germany

You might think that buildings are easy to photograph. You can walk around them or through them, you can fly over them. And they always stand still. However, there is the influence of the light and the weather, the cars in the way, the suspicious janitor and the fences in the wrong place – a whole lot of variables, and on top of that, I often can’t help but add people to the picture.
