913 269-6709 Jim@MathisPhoto.net Architectural Photography Back in the Golden Age of rock & roll, when gas was cheap and phones were hard-wired, I roomed with a couple of architectural students. We were all photographers too, so naturally our late night bull-sessions centered around architecture and photography. Of course I became interested in architecture as well, as we made road trips to photograph historical and significant buildings. I even took some History of Architecture classes and collected books on architecture. I have since seen and photographed even more famous buildings in Europe and the U.S. of A. My friends went on to have successful careers as architects and designers while I stayed with photography. Now days, when I am not photographing business people and performers, I am usually out photographing buildings. The difference between photographing people and buildings is that with people portraiture, you move the people and the lights until you get the picture you want. In building portraiture, neither the buildings nor the sun are easily moveable, so we have to go when the sun and the building are where we want them to be. This is usually the first few hours after sunrise or the last few hours before sunset, depending upon the orientation of the building and the time of year. The other rule of architectural photography is no converging vertical lines. The edges of the building and all vertical features should be parallel to each other and to the edge of the photo. Do you need architectural photography? Give me a call. If you want to photograph some buildings yourself, I hope these tips are useful. For more architectural photos click HERE.
