As a perfectionist art form, architectural photography is a methodical process demanding patience and clinical precision from its practitioners, combined with an experienced understanding of the potential and effects of natural light. This book approaches the subject from the perspective of the architect, including a brief history of architecture and a glossary of architectural terminology. Having outlined the underlying theories and applications of camera movements, filters, composition and light (both natural and photographic), the author then takes you on assignment with a step-by-step guide to typical shooting sequences. Two chapters are devoted to creative possibilities and practical solutions to everyday problems. Advice on running a successful professional business practice is given, plus an analysis of 10 published assignments, examined both in terms of photographic merit and graphic design.
