This paper explains the photos of interesting architectural details through the display of texture which light and shadow convey. Theoretical part analyzes the approach to photography. For practical interpretation contrast, light and texture of certain buildings from different angles are being examined using a small aperture which provides greater depth of field (DOF). The observation of the difference in the result, depending on the depth of field is the main guiding principle of the whole paper and support for the experimental part of the paper. The most important factors are tone and shadows that give the photo a form of strength and three-dimensionality. The aim of the photographic research is to show how each surface radiates to man in the display of light and shadow. Many examples were used as the basis for the final and it is explained how and why each motive is being photographed from an angle and which changes are recorded at a different time of day. The transience of time and different atmospheric conditions provide a new backdrop, each time magnifying a motive in a new, peculiar way.
