This is gold, my friend! So grateful I’ve found this channel. Thank you for the work you put into helping us that want to learn this amazing niche in photography!
You've come here and offered to be our mentor and instructor with a series of lessons and a final project. You are an incredible individual, Steven Brooke, and I appreciate you.
Mr. Brooke, THANK YOU for yet another extremely useful video! I am not an architectural photographer, but I have passion for mid century modern architecture. So I photograph what I like when I see it. And your tips on architectural photography really help me to compose my images better. I will try to go through the exercise that you suggest in this video. It will be an interesting challenge for myself. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦✌🇺🇦
In Assignment #4, is it a requirement that no parked or moving vehicles are present? They can be difficult to avoid even in early morning in large cities. Also, what about photographing skyscrapers standing adjacent, looking straight up, as a dramatic representation of height?
Hi, Paul: Streetscape: It’s not a “requirement” only a suggestion. The streetscapes are clearly better without the distractions of cars. If there are only one or two, I’ll try Generative Fill or the RemoveTool to get rid of then. On occasion, and if my client wants the cars, I have used a drone to get above the rooflines of the cars, which diminishes their impact on the photo. Skyscrapers: If there is no alternative, a shot looking straight up can work if the distortions are kept to a minimum. A very wide-angle lens can cause those distortions, particularly at the bottom of the view. Where the sides of the building hit the bottom of the frame also must be considered. Try to avoid having any diagonal hit the very corner of the frame as that will flatten out the image and call attention to the frame. One other solution, again with a drone if possible, is to back up and shoot from about 1/3 to ½ way up the building. These are both difficult project types, and that is precisely why I have included them in the 7 Assignments. Doing the streetscapes first, and dealing with all the collateral information that must be brought in compositionally, is helpful for shooting the high-rises.
