1 What does architectural photography serve?
In the introduction, I defined what architectural photography is. The goal of architectural photography is to capture a building in images, and this is a permanent photographic record of a structure, usually taken at construction.
2 So, what exactly is architecture?
The practice of architecture entails the planning and construction of structures.
So architecture photography is the practice of photographing the construction and design of structures.
3 What’s the difference between architecture and architectural photography?
It’s the same thing said in a new way. In this essay, I’ll use the phrase architectural photography, but if you prefer another name, that’s OK too.
4 Construction photography vs. architectural photography
For me to take this next step, Documenting a completed building is architectural photography, whereas photographing the construction process, plant, materials, equipment, and construction workers in construction photography.
5. How do you photograph architecture?
The important thing to remember is to take notes on the architecture, structure, details, colors, and textures. And keep track of everything.
All of this must be meticulously recorded.
So that is the secret to architectural photography: shooting the building accurately.
6 What characteristics distinguish a good architectural photograph?

An excellent architectural photograph depicts a structure realistically and appealingly. A good architecture photograph captures a system at its best.
It also highlights the architecture and all of the key aspects, features, nuances, and nuances.
7 What is the average salary for architectural photographers?
It is debatable, and that is a terrible response. Architectural photography may earn you a living, and the more experience you have and the better your images are, the more you can charge.
Beginners are less able to charge as much as one might think.
Architectural photography highlights a building’s soul, scale, details, and architecture!
I usually charge a half-day or full-day pricing that includes processing time for an exact, all-in price.
8 Which camera is best for architecture photography?
I would suggest a high-quality, full-frame DSLR. I shoot with a Canon 6D, a full-frame camera with a resolution of 20MP.
A Canon 6D Mk1 is correct. Isn’t it hardly cutting-edge? But there’s a point here. The Canon 6D remains a fantastic camera.
However, there are plenty more excellent cameras and camera types available.
I photographed a recently completed building project with an Olympus EM1 Mk 2 micro four-thirds camera, and it worked perfectly.
So buy/use the best camera you can afford, but don’t allow it to stop you from trying architectural photography – fantastic images may be taken with an average camera. Bad photos can be taken with a terrific camera.
You’ll need a wide-angle lens — on my Canon 6D, I use a Canon 17-40mm lens, and on the EM1, I used the Olympus 7-14mm lens, which is a fantastic wide lens.
9 How do you photograph interior architecture?
Sopley Mill in Hampshire has been restored and is now available for weddings. Rick McEvoy photographed Etchingham Morris Architecture Ltd of Ringwood.
My camera was securely mounted on a tripod. I don’t use a remote release; instead, I utilize the self-timer on my Canon 6D, which means a 10-second delay between me gently pressing the shutter release button and the shutter opening razor-sharp photographs.
10 How do you photograph products?
I’m talking about building materials here. Another of my specialties is construction product photography, and I’ve photographed items for some of the world’s most well-known construction companies, including Rockwool, Catnic, and Dulux!
11 What are your editing techniques for architectural photography?
Again, precisely. Before I consider anything weird and creative, I get the technical stuff done. Here are several details that must be exact.
The beginning stage for getting colors right is white balance.
Colours \sHorizontals \sVerticals
Scale \sOrientation \sRealism
Architectural photography is mostly a technical endeavor.
12 What is the greatest interior photography lens?
I shoot with a Canon 17-40mm lens. This is about the right width, any broader, and you risk emphasizing the inner space’s size and dimensions. Your images must depict an interior space appropriately.
Sure, 17mm makes a room appear larger than it is, but not in a false or artificial sense. I wouldn’t be able to include all of the interior space in a composition if I only used a 50mm lens, and this is widely acknowledged throughout the industry.
13 How much should a newbie photographer charge?
It’s a difficult one. I never recommend working for free, but everyone has to start somewhere. There’s nothing wrong with approaching someone and offering to photograph their building for free in exchange for the experience and the ability to use the images for self-promotion.
After you’ve issued the images, create an invoice with a sum that you think is reasonable and that you’d be happy to work for, and then discount it to 30 percent.
