A Complete Guide to the History, Practice and Techniques of Architectural Photography and Composition
If you’re a photographer who would like to specialize in architecture; or one who as worked on other subjects and would like to learn more about architectural photography; or an architect or designer who wants to shoot your own work, then my new 360-page e-book, Architectural Photography and Composition is for you. With over 300 photographs and illustrations and dozens of workflows it is the most comprehensive e-book of its kind ever published.
Learn from the masters:
Architectural photography is part of a long tradition that goes back over 500 years to the work of the great Dutch painters like Vermeer and de Hooch; the Italian view painters like Piranesi and Canaletto; and modern era painters such as Cezanne and Hopper. My new e-book covers this history in depth and examines in detail the systems of proportion and composition that have been gifted to us by these artists of genius and which have guided my work for decades. I know they will help you to see with increased acuity and to have greater confidence in your own compositional choices.
Master your tools:
We discuss the cameras, lenses and accessories that you need-- and equipment that you really don’t need. I supply easy-to-follow workflows -- the same workflows that I use in my work --for setting up your computer, your camera, making the photographs; and for processing your files. You’ll receive complete procedures for Bridge; for Camera RAW, and detailed Photoshop workflows including vertical and horizontal alignment, photo-merging, layering exposures, fixing localized color problems, repairing a bad sky, and much more.
We will examine all aspects of the art:
- Single buildings and building complexes
- High rises
- Architectural details
- Landscape
- Interiors
- Still life
- Night Photography
- Black and white photography
- Architectural models
- And for each of these areas, I offer suggested assignments with detailed guidelines.
Running your business:
At the end of the book there are Appendices with suggested readings and movies and my “Preparation for Photography” guidelines that you can use for your clients. And, lastly, some valuable business principles that will help you immeasurably.
