Architecture photography

Any building can be presented in the best light — you just need to look carefully, find the right angle and key detail…

Famous Portuguese photographer Fernando Guerra believes that when we photograph architecture, we should not think long about finding the perfect place to shoot. “Even in terrible places, you can find incredible buildings. Think about individual buildings and what makes them interesting. It can be any object-from a leaning barn to the incredible beauty of a museum or cathedral. I think there are no” bad ” buildings to shoot. You just need to wait for the right lighting and choose the perfect moment.” It’s hard to disagree with his opinion. But the most interesting thing is that the principles of shooting people are very similar to the principles of shooting architectural objects. The same light and the same perfect moment.

When photographing buildings and interiors, I don’t use additional light sources. Using modern digital technologies, it is possible to create images of static objects in difficult conditions. The only additional equipment that is used is a tripod and a drone (for shooting from the air).

I’m not a fan of deforming straight lines or distorting perspective. The conditions for a successful shot are a favorable combination of shape, light, and characteristic details. I will be happy to use color solutions or monochrome ones, depending on the available creative idea and the specifics of the customer’s request.

Shooting buildings and interiors is a popular genre not only for selling or renting out real estate. Atmospheric images of an office or store, flower salon, SPA complex, fitness center, hotel or restaurant are attractive content for a page in social networks, on a website,or in interior design.

It is possible that you have already thought about this kind of shooting, but you don’t know how to implement creative ideas, and you are also at a loss to guess how much such a photographer’s work can cost – ask me or write to me. I’ll be happy to help you. I’ll tell you, show you, and calculate my options.

Photographing architecture isn’t just about pointing your lens at an office building or an exquisitely decorated church.
