Architectural Photography Course

An Architect is an artist who paints with Bricks, Steel, Wind, glass etc.

Each work of an Architect is a masterpiece three-dimensional creation of a structure that serves a function – whether it’s a home, Office, Church, or a state-of-the-art Corporate Headquarters.

It is said that today, the photograph of a building as opposed to the building itself, is the most widely consumed image.

However it takes a bit of training in the field of architectural photography to be able to interpret those lines, colors, curves, space, symbols, employed by the Architect, and have them represented in a two -dimensional photograph.

It takes training to be able to see not only how the light and shadow cast upon a building, affects its Shape, Form, Curve etc., but also to take advantage of these Natural light details, to paint a unique representation of any Architectural piece in PICTURES

A good use of these techniques does not only apply to the exterior of the building but also to the interior of the building.

In this course you will learn how to use Natural/Available lights to bring out the best of the exterior and interior of an Architectural piece, in a manner you never thought POSSIBLE!!!
