-architecture photography can be formal or informal
-3 views, the interior, the big view, and detail.
-a quick tip is to use a line to draw the viewers eye.
-look at the vertical and horizontal lines
-observe space around the building and consider its surroundings
-pattern, the repetition of any of the elements of art is usually apart of every image of architecture
-smaller f-stops gives greater depth of field
-use value, the greater the difference in the tones or contrast, the more 3 dimensional the image will look
-differences in tonal values also accentuate texture, which is the tactile quality of a surface.
-texture and value are the most critical
lighting is important in interior architectural photography
-use filters to even out the light
-wide angle lenses are most useful because the wider the area of the building you will catch.
-polarizer is very useful, it can darken images, reduce or eliminate reflections
-most commercial architecture photography rely on the big view, the wide-angle overall view.(usually the whole building)
-perspective distortion appears as strong converging lines in a building, where the sides of the building angle in toward each other instead of looking parallel.
-shooting straight on makes it look flat and 2 dimensional
-shooting with an angle give the image more dimension
-shadows are another great way to capture architecture
-the detail shot features the individuals architectural elements of a building's interior or exterior
-they are indirect photographs
-many details in buildings are above eye level so its better to use a stronger lens
-for interior shots the photographer is always challenged on where to place the camera.
-interior shots look better when everything is usually in focus
-always think about the depth of field in a interior shot
-and use color or black and white film for any architectural aspect.
