Synthesis: An Architectural Photography Exhibit

SYNTHESIS is an exposition of the harmony between two arts -- architecture and photography.

It was said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Indeed. That’s the value of a photograph that makes it a work of art. I am not a professional photographer but I so love to appreciate work of arts especially in photography. Been trying to work out my skills at times and when I got a good shot I myself appreciate how beautiful a simple photography that can turn out to be a work of art. I love taking photos of different inspirations may it be landscape, portrait, travel, food, and houses just by looking of it make me wanna dream of having same interior designs that I see in photographs.

Showcasing the harmony between two arts, Synthesis features the first-of-its-kind demonstration at SM Aura Premier, both the talent of Marc Henrich Go, and the works of renowned architecture and design firm Budji+Royal, the evocative photos are set to indulge with meaningful spatial experiences of atmosphere and emotion through architectural photography. Underscoring the intuitive collaboration of creative minds.
