    Early Attempts at Architectural Photography in Lagos, Nigeria.
    (Department of Architecture, 2016-07-01) Akande, A. O.
    This paper takes a historical look at the introduction of photography to old Lagos. It examines the early attempts at the craft of architectural photography and the factors that predisposed architecture and the built environment to the early pioneer photographers. The paper also identifies key pioneers of architecture photography in Lagos and their contributions to the development and propagation of architectural styles through their pioneering work. Finally, this work debates the need for architects and enthusiast alike to further their knowledge and appreciation of the workings of photography in order to maximise the potential of the craft as a key non-verbal language for the communication of architectural aesthetics and thoughts.
