View From Above, Mexico City

Photography using my phone.

I took this photograph in Mexico City, at the top of the Torre Latinoamericana, overlooking the Palacio de Bellas Artes. I used design elements such as angle of view, proportion, and scale in my composition. I wanted the grandeur of the Palacio to be emphasized by the difference in scale when compared to the people and cars down below. I also wanted a more layered photograph, so I decided to take it at an angle rather than head-on. I hope my work can help us to appreciate the beauty in Latin American architecture and design, and to show the significance of perspectives.
