The word ‘pattern’ is one we encounter often—an idea woven in the fabric of daily life, familiar and instinctively understood. At its core, a pattern is an arrangement of elements that share a similar form, whether through geometric repetition or the orderly placement of objects. Even the most mundane compositions, when aligned with intention, can become patterns in their own right.

A closer look at our surroundings reveals that patterns are everywhere—woven into the architecture of buildings, etched into the streets we traverse. Each of these visual configurations possesses its own character, shaped by the designer’s vision and the context of its placement.

Whenever I set out with my camera, I’m drawn to these subtle repetitions—the hidden alignments waiting to be uncovered along the way. For me, photographing patterns is a way of capturing what I call the beauty of simplicity. It’s a practice that brings joy to my photographic journey, deepens my connection with the visual world, and often informs other photographic styles I explore.

PHOTO ESSAY : GEOMETRIC FORMS IN URBAN ARCHITECTURE

Geometry and Urban Architecture Through the Lens of Film

Urban architecture is rich in geometric forms that reflect the structural and design philosophies of different eras. While the lines of buildings may appear simple, they are infused with layers of light, shadow, and color that evoke distinct emotions.

Shooting with a film camera enhances these elements, adding a natural tonal quality that lends depth and softness to the images while capturing the atmosphere of a place in a uniquely expressive way. The limitations of film—particularly the finite number of exposures—require me to be more deliberate in composing each frame, ensuring every shot is intentional and thoughtfully framed.

In architectural photography, the city can be distilled into basic forms like triangles, rectangles, and sweeping curves, once stripped of excess detail. Yet, through the lens of a film camera, these shapes transform into narratives of shifting light and shadow, revealing the timeless beauty of the urban landscape.
