Hi

Just to let you know that Im new to the group. I am an architectural photographer based in the UK. My particular interest is in the historic environment and building conservation. I recently completed my thesis on Genius Loci in Architecture. I have a website and several thousand images with an online stock agency. You can see my style of work here:

I’m looking for Architectural or Art Student Photographers who needs to make a little money taking pictures.
I have pre selected few Architecturally Interesting Buildings around the world that I would like to be photographed.
If you are interested and have a good Camera with at least 5MP and a little experience with Architectural photography please contact me: bdermel at yahoo dot com

The fee will be based per building and where in the world you are located..
Thanks,

I have plenty of experience with automotive photography but I watched a photographer taking photos of a residential interior the other day and he was using PhotoShop to correct the “leaning effect” out of his wide angle shots, making them appear true and square. How is this done and can it be done with just PhotoShop or is there an add-on or another program? I would like to be able to do this.

I’m curious. Having just aquired a cheapo fisheye lens for my digital camera (~15mm length, not a proper 8mm one), how many architectural photographers actually make use of these to good effect. Are there any people in particular whose work/portfolios I could look at for inspiration? Thanks.

Hi all,
I am trying to find a good photo editing program. I do not know what I need to look for. Can anybody tell me what are some really good programs?

Film or Digital?

In this age of digital imagery, it is quite easy to remove the convergence in photos made with the camera not level–the distortion which makes buildings look somewhat pyramidal when the camera is pointed upward, and the opposite when the camera is pointed downward.

Especially in buildings designed by Frank Ghery, one doesn’t know whether the tapering buildings in the photos are due to camera distortion or Ghery’s design sense.

Again, since it is quite easy to remove that distortion in PhotoShop, why not do so before submitting them, to Architecture Week or Great Buildings Online, for a more accurate representation of the building’s form?

The human scale effect on the photo..by the presence of only one Figure-Human Element-the photo has another evolutionery value and scale>>Let us see it Here..

Hi, I’m new to this forum. I consider myself an experimental photographer and one of my loves as a subject is architecture. The lines and patterns really are what draw my eye in. Not to mention old buildings versus new, love them all.

Recently, I was told by another photographer that the floor is extremely important when shooting Architectural shots. And while I would agree depending on the shot, sometimes I feel that the interest is in the whole building or in pieces of it, regardless of whether or not there is a floor.

For example, here is a link to a shot I took recently, that I call Vertigo. It was taken of this really fantastic building in Milwaukee WI. The glass partition in the back is the building, whereas the white part in front is the parking structure for the building. I shot it this way on purpose, how the lines and patterns of the buildings framed in my mind for the shot.

Now would this be considered bad architectural photography or good?

Most importantly, I would love to hear from you all on what you think makes a good architectural shot versus a bad one. What are the “Rules” of Architectural Photography?

Thanks again!

I was surfin’ & ran across this site > dotphoto.com

Right now they’re running an [b]Architecture Photo Contest[/b]. First prize for it is an [b]iPod Nano[/b]! The contest is for the best Architecture photo, and it seems to me that it can be any sort of architecture from a church to a bathroom. I’ve already entered, and I want that iPod! If you do want to enter the contest go to dotPhoto.com and click on “photo contest” at the bottom of the page. And believe it or not, there’s no catch either!

They also have pics from so many random people & u don’t have to go thru all of the filler on other sites.
& they let you upload your pics to share you can create a show with your music or their’s and add a voice over too.
Check it out, if you join for free I think you get like 30 free prints too. I think you can also get you pics put on stuff like blankets, ipod cases, mugs, stuff like that; I bet they charge for that though
Trust me, this site is worth it!
