  "account": "Architectural photographer Timothy Soar aims to capture the personalities and aspirations of British architects, revealing the vision behind each stunning building. In his exhibition Reinventing Practice at the Building Centre in London, Soar presents portraits of 40 architects shaping the country's built environment. Soar's project began in 2004, when he switched from large-format film to a digital camera and tilt-shift lens, enabling him to photograph people within architectural spaces. This approach allows Soar to create images that reveal the architects' individuality, work environments, and professional values, rather than conforming to a stereotypical corporate portrait. Using a Fujifilm GFX 100 and a Canon TS-E 50mm f/2.8L tilt-shift lens, Soar achieved a consistent visual language throughout the series, shooting at ISO 100 and around f/11 with shutter speeds of 1/4 sec or 1/2 sec. Soar's subjects are driving change in the industry, with climate change posing a significant threat to the built environment. Through his exhibition, Soar hopes to showcase the optimism, drive, and innovative solutions these architects are developing to address environmental challenges.",
