How To Become A Skilled Architectural Photographer

By Judy Sullivan


When people are living in areas with beautiful scenery, they will normally want to become a good architectural photographer. It may or may not actually come true but it should help a person to have the skills to get good pictures. They should be able to capture the beauty of a building with the use of their camera.

Buildings and towers make good subjects for most photographers. They find it an art to indulge themselves in this kind of photography. They can easily capture the beauty of these buildings or towers, regardless of whether they are amateurs or not, if they know the basic rules to this. Here are some of the things they need to know.

First of all, they need to be aware of their focal length. To those who wish to capture a certain subject with a wide angle, they will have to pick their focal length. They have to check up the appropriate wide angle lenses they should use. If they do not possess these lenses, then they should just move farther or closer from their subject.

There is a need to stabilize the camera. This is especially true in this case where a person will have to shoot an inanimate object. Unlike any other type of photography where will have to handle motion and light, a single shake will dull the photograph. It is better to get a decent tripod for this and be confident in using it.

Pay attention to the ISO as well. This is the feature of the camera where the person will decide on how much light will travel into the camera. This is normally known as the shutter speed. Most of the times, people will prefer to use lower ISO at this type of photography since the noise is properly minimized.

There are also times when it is recommended for people to close their aperture. This is especially recommended when their camera is mounted on a tripod and they have enough time to leave their shutter open. It is better to show with smaller aperture because the lens error will be minimized this way.

Pay attention to the converging lines as well. People might want to achieve a maximum amount of realism with this type of photography and so they try to keep any vertical lines vertical. There are times when this is not possible or desirable, though. In this case, just follow the general convention about converging lines then.

The position of the camera should be decided as well. In most times, people will want to have a wide angle lens when taking a photograph of a building because it promotes a dramatic effect. This is fine but it is better if the person simply chooses a longer focal length for bringing objects closer together. Move further away too.

Every architectural photographer has a right to take pictures of buildings. However, some building staff will scold those who take pictures because of their own reasons. The person should learn how to stand up to these people and retain the right to pursue one's photography.
