ARCHITECTURE & URBAN LANDSCAPES


THE BIG VIEW

  • most architectural photos rely on the big view, the wide-angle overall view. 
    • shows the whole building
    • far away using wide-angle lens
  • perspective distortion appears as strong converging lines in a building, where sides lean toward each other than parallel in reality
    • going farther away from building lessens the distortion
  • straight on or angled?
  • shooting from the side creates a three-dimensional effect
SHADOWS
  • try capturing shadows of objects instead of the real thing
THE DETAIL SHOT
  • detailed shot features the individual architectural elements of a building's interior or exterior
  • details become indirect portraits of craftspeople who made them. 
INTERIOR VIEWS
  • can record overall shots of whole rooms
  • concentrate of the presence of the people living in them
  • depth of field important
