Haggerston Listings

Our project 'Haggerston Listings' got off to a great start last Saturday as our brilliant team of 10 volunteers spent the day with photographer Jon Spencer, finding out about architectural photography and having a go themselves. 

The team learnt about lots of technical aspects like shutter speeds and focal lengths, as well as practical considerations like the position of the sun. They then put their training into practice by taking photographs of a listed building close to the Building Exploratory and using their new skills to explore it’s details and architectural features.

The research and photography will be presented in an on-line learning resource which will map the listed buildings in Haggerston. We’re really looking forward to seeing the research and photographs the volunteers produce
