Presentation Description
This presentation brings together four buildings—one each in Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, and Miami—examined through the lens of composition. Each photograph isolates a defining moment of the structure, using framing, scale, and perspective to reveal what makes it visually compelling. The work shows how composition can draw out a building’s presence, emphasizing the lines, proportions, and details that shape how we experience architectural form.
Speaker Information
Angie McMonigal
Angie is a fine art and commercial architecture photographer based in Chicago striving to bring a detailed, thoughtful perspective to her work, whether for clients or through the workshops she leads. Having grown up surrounded by nature yet fascinated by the big city she now calls home; she brings the meditative calm of her upbringing to a terrain that’s always transforming. Drawing from her education in the micro sciences (molecular biology, microbiology, virology) her focus is more frequently on bold architectural details rather than sweeping cityscapes, creating images that celebrate those unexpectedly iconic elements hiding in plain sight.
She frequently works with art consultants, designers, brands, architectural firms, and private collectors creating images that draw out the organic interplay between design, structure, environment, and society.
