CHUM Hospital
The Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal is one of the most striking pieces of contemporary architecture in the city, featuring a dramatic glass and steel facade that rewards architectural photographers willing to explore its angles. The building's sweeping curves and geometric patterns give you strong compositional options, whether you are shooting straight-on to emphasize symmetry or moving to the sides to capture the layered depth of the structure. Look for reflections in the glass panels, especially on overcast days when the diffused light eliminates harsh glare and brings out the texture of the materials. A wide-angle lens in the 16-35mm range works well for capturing the full scale of the facade, while a longer lens lets you isolate repeating patterns and details. The building is accessible from street level with multiple vantage points along the surrounding sidewalks. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
