Architectural photography of public spaces, galleries and museums is complicated by the fact that they are always crowded and you as an architectural photographer need to spend a lot of time to catch the right moment.

During the architectural shoot of The James Simon Gallery, I got lucky. It rained an hour before sunset and there were very few people outside. This allowed me to shoot the gallery without the crowds of tourists.
