Architectural photography serves as the central visual approach in Second Nature, where Guy Tillim examines the relationship between constructed environments and their surrounding contexts. The images capture the interplay between human-made structures and natural elements, creating a contemplative mood that reflects on the impact of architecture on landscape and society.
Through a series of carefully composed photographs, the book explores themes of transformation and coexistence between built forms and nature. The use of light and composition highlights contrasts and harmonies within urban and rural settings, inviting viewers to reconsider the definition of ‘nature’ within contemporary environments.
Published in 2012 by Prestel Publishing, this 112-page volume offers a focused visual study by Tillim that engages with architectural subjects in a manner that transcends straightforward documentary photography.
