Architectural photography is a genre that needs to be done well in order for the resulting images to be compelling and effective. Most architectural structures may be found amongst chaotic urban areas and making them stand out from the crowd is not possible sometimes. In scenarios like these, it is better to focus on the closer details rather than the grand scene.
One of the best ways to capture architectural photos that stand out is through abstract photos. These photos can be captured by focusing on the artistic and geometric expressions of the designer. Framing it well by removing context can provide for some stunning abstract architectural photos. Here are some simple, conceptual abstract architecture photos.
When focusing on shapes, forms and geometry in architectural photography, it is important to use the right light that will emphasise these features and add depth to a photo. Without the right light falling from the right direction, these photos can look flat, dull and boring. Besides, you should also have a good knowledge on manipulating and using available light for better photography so you don't miss out on opportunities. If you want to get a better understanding of light and use it to your advantage, we recommend you to check out this eBook, “Understanding Light” by Photzy that will guide you and help to skyrocket your images to their very best.
Light is one of the most important factors in photography. Photographers are always seeking good light to capture their photos, which means they will need to shoot during specific times of the day under certain weather conditions which means, they will not be getting out to shoot under other light conditions. What if you knew that all light is good light and can be used to your advantage? This eBook, “Understanding Light” by Photzy will help you to understand the properties of light and use any light to capture beautiful images.
Just like how colours can affect the mood in a photo, light too can have psychological effects on a scene altering the mood entirely depending on the light and its intensity. Based on what you are looking to shoot or the mood you are wishing to achieve in your resulting images, you will need to learn to use the right light. Check out this eBook, “Understanding Light” by Photzy which is an 88 pages guide packed with training, illustrations and assignments. It covers everything you need to know from characteristics of light to reading light and using it in your photography.
