Man has always sought to represent the world, be it with a record capable of documenting the real, or as a sensitive and artistic interpretation. Whether it was drawing, painting, sculpture or even text, his will has always fluctuated between document and work of art. In the case of photography, it arose as a desire to register an image as true as possible, a kind of recording that easily and quickly creates an image that gives rise to an illusion of perspective and reality close to human reality. Photography, from its inception, has been associated with architecture for a large number of people. Naturally, its physical characteristics were favorable for the first catches, recognized for being long and time consuming.From the twentieth century, with the rapid spread through the media, and because it became a tool that was available to a large part of society, photography makes the world of architecture accessible to a large number of people, shortening the distance to the oeuvre. On one hand, experience and direct contact with architecture lose relative importance, since photography is able to visually register this reality with unparalleled similarity. On the other hand, it aroused the curiosity of many to visit the works, as well as allowing people to be informed about some of these architectures without having to physically visit them.About the relationship between the photographer and the architect, a paradigm is reached where photography often serves only to show the architect's point of view, and the way he wants his work to be experienced and seen. This way of acting turns the use of photography into a work of documentary representation capable of translating the codes and architectural culture of the works. The main focus of this study is to understand how it is possible to use architectural photography beyond the object of registering the work, as a document, but also as a kind of sensitive register, capable of awakening in the viewer a moment of reflection on an architectural space, leading him to wonder about it. Moreover, this more disciplined perspective gives the architect an awareness of how space is really appropriated and explored by its users.Through a visual and critical poetry, photographers Iwan Baan and Nuno Cera portray problems of the modern city through their photographs. They create a visual narrative that takes the viewer on an introspective journey into these subjects and spaces, which are often of his knowledge, but which are shown from a new critical and methodical point of view that instructs him to a new reality. Therefore, these authors are case studies and, together with the literary review of this work, they are the foundation and references for a practical case. This case study is the practical object where the author tries to apply an architectural photography model on the different dynamics and transformations of the metro station spaces of the Porto metropolitan area.
