Germany / Oldenburg
Schloss Oldenburg
Schloss Oldenburg, set on Schlossplatz in the heart of Oldenburg, Germany, offers clean architectural lines, a distinctive tower, and workable foregrounds that reward careful framing.

Egypt / Suez
Suez National Museum
In Suez—a port city defined by the canal and the Gulf—Suez National Museum offers a clean, contemporary civic facade to build an urban-architecture set. The site is central enough to fold street life into frames, yet self-contained enough to work methodically through wide context, architectural detail and low-light studies without leaving the block. Why shoot...
