Tips to improve your architectural photography. You’ll learn the stylistic and technical fundamentals to help you take better photographs of architecture whether it’s your own work, or someone else’s. In this video I share with you some of the amateur mistakes I made when I was first starting out so you can avoid them in your work.
Photography is an essential meta skill I think every creative needs in their toolkit, it teaches you about light, composition, texture, color and narrative and it will help you document your surroundings, your design projects and your travels in a more professional style.
The seven tips I discuss are:
1) Keystoning + how to correct it
2) White balance + style
3) Using a tripod + why you need one
4) Lenses: the best ones for architecture
5) Details
6) Light + how to make best use of it
7) Decluttering
