What is architectural photography


Architectural photography:
 "the photographing of buildings and similar structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects"

This style of photography is typically created from either the exterior or interior view of a building. These two styles have similarities but may also require different equipment. 

Exterior:

  • Usually takes advantage of available daylight
  • Uses ambient lighting if shot at night

Interior:
  • Ambient lighting can also be used (light through windows, or interior lighting fixtures)
  • Electronic flash strobes or incandescent hot lights are used to improve the illumination in a building
