Title: shooting architecture???????
Post by: stacibeth on February 12, 2008, 05:52:40 pm

I have recently gotten in to architecture over the last year and I am looking for any advice regarding technique, lighting etc. Any advice would be a great help.

Thanks

I think the scope of your question is too wide.

There are some terrific reference books floating around.  I'm not in the office and can't get specific.  But our architectural contracts are sporadic enough that I find the books very useful for review.  I bet if you go to Amazon, you'll find pages of the things along with useful reviews.

The best book I've found so far is Norman McGrath's book, Photographing Buildings Inside and Out. It was written before digital photography came on the scene in a big way (though he does make reference to it at the end of the book). But the techniques and aesthetic considerations are timeless. It's not in print right now, so you'd have to hunt around on used book sites or a large regional library database.  Gary Kopelow also has a couple of books. Look on Amazon and you'll see additional titles suggested when you enter the author's name.

Good luck,
