The art of architectural photography gives us not only detailed images of the cityscape but also a sense of atmosphere, culture and pulse of the city. It allows us to walk around the building, and to look inside a building not generally open to the public. In the photos of Tianen one can see how the northern sun and snow play in the facades of the buildings, how the nature and the cityscape surrounding a building affect the architecture, becoming part of it. Tiainen, one of the most well-known contemporary architectural photographers, takes us around Helsinki, one of the major cities in the world for contemporary architecture.
