Architecture: Honorable Mention 2017 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Fine art image of the Old Empire Theatre, located in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Built in 1911, the design of the Empire Theatre building is art deco in style, reminiscent of the "glory days" of Hollywood with palm trees framing the exterior and two plinth-mounted fish tanks in the metallic gold and bronze of the entry foyer. One of the Empire Theatre's most striking features is the grand proscenium arch. The stage is over 13 metres wide and 12 metres deep with approximately 20 metres to the grid and more than 15 metres of wing space combined. It has 80 fly lines including 7 overhead lighting bars and an orchestra pit that can be hydraulically raised to audience floor or stage thrust levels.
AUTHOR
A CPA by profession, working in one Mutual Bank in Australia as Internal Auditor. Edwin is a self-taught photographer based in Queensland, Australia and only discovered his interest in photography in the early 2015 when he bought his first DLSR (Nikon D750).
His passion is on landscapes/ seascapes, nature, and cityscapes. He likes to spend considerable time in capturing the scene and trying to slow down the process. Using his imagination and visioning, he digs deeper within himself to capture the moments and express his emotions. He knows that each images has a story to tell, and that special moment will never come back again. When not taking photographs, he is busy watching DOTA 2 online games and Basketball Games.
