Photo: “Dome of St. Ivo, Rome”
So much of architecture is about form as well as function, and great architectural photography really highlights the form component. In this case, the dome of the church is sculpted into a flower-like creation, and its presentation in black and white (really grayscale) highlights its form with even greater emphasis. It’s simply a stunning design!

Steven – thank you so much for selecting my photo – this is an amazing church and dome designed by Borromini and the interior is only open two hours a week – I feel so blessed to have visited this architectural masterpiece and to shoot it. Thanks again!
