Yes, the point of view often makes a big difference, and of course, the photographs are taken from the optimal view. Interesting that he looks for buildings situated in spaces that control the vantage point.

This often means that he uses the sides of buildings which are hemmed in by other buildings across the street.

He often seems to build a 3 dimensional model from which he works so that he can get the light right. Richard The way Pugh works is also interesting.
