Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
You can visit the exterior of the Futurium during any month, but I prefer the colder months when the gloomy weather brings an ominous vibe.
Rainy, cloudy days will bring a dark and wet atmosphere.

Field tips

I used an iPhone here with a wide-angle 18mm Moment lens to incorporate the circled floor and as many windows as I could. The floor and building façade contrast nicely together.
My model was standing on the railing when I took the photo. Although it isn't very high, please make sure your model is careful when standing on the elevated rail.
Photographing a subject adds a sense of scale and enhances the architecture.
A tripod could be helpful for this type of shot, so bring one along!
