Architectural Accent photography can be more alluring than the whole room.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up about shooting my conventional architectural angles and scenes that I forget to look around me for accent photos. Architectural Accent photography often tells a more intriguing story than the entire room in which it is featured. In this first example, this vintage bank vault door in Houston makes a loud statement about the gobs of money and cash happy history of the old oil days of south Texas.

This accent photo is one I saw while shooting at University Crossings in Charlotte. It is in the entry way to the leasing office of the property.
