About Adam Letch
Adam Letch is a photographic graduate of the Michaelis School of Art (UCT), a former photography lecturer and head of department now specialising in producing photographic imagery of the built environment for a range of prestigious clients around the world.
I document buildings and interiors, utilising an artistic ‘lens’ to create a lasting impression. Architectural photography suits my working methods and temperament; with a focus on technique and spatial exploration, the aim is to produce exceptional imagery through meticulous composition, attention to detail, considered lines, textural contrasts and an acknowledgment of environment and context.
My work ultimately stands alone, providing the viewer with the experience of the building on an emotional, atmospheric or design perspective.
LOCATION: Cape Town, South Africa
