Want to break into the field? It&#8217;ll take a commitment to quality, a significant investment in the right equipment, a portfolio, and references. But first, becoming an architecture photographer\u2014even as a part-time job or hobby\u2014requires a learning curve.<\/p>\n<h4>Tips for shooting better architectural photos:<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53256\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53256\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_218420287.jpg\" alt=\"Staircase in the East Building of the National Gallery of Art\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_218420287.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_218420287-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>1. <b>Walk Around The Place<\/b>: One of the advantages of architectural photography is that your subject isn&#8217;t going anywhere. Take your time. Look up (ceilings may be interesting) and down (especially around spiral staircases). Snoop around. Walk around, look for interesting angles, convergences of lines, perspectives. The most obvious point of view may not be the most interesting, and the best image may be a matter of shifting your camera a few inches up, down or sideways, or shooting in a different direction altogether.<\/p>\n<p>2. <b>Use a Tripod<\/b>: Even though it is true that your subject isn&#8217;t moving, that can&#8217;t necessarily be said for you, or your camera. You will find that you&#8217;ll need to use a small aperture to maximize depth of field, which will necessitate a slow shutter speed that precludes hand-holding. Always bring a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Photography\/Tripods-and-Supports\">tripod<\/a>! In fact, to really avoid any chance of camera shake, lock the mirror up if you&#8217;re using a DSLR, and use a remote control to trigger the shutter. This will eliminate all camera motion, even when shooting longer exposures.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53254\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_793628908.jpg\" alt=\"Girl looking at beautiful Italian town\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_793628908.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_793628908-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>3. <b>Add a Human Element<\/b>: Some buildings are designed in a way that requires a sense of relative scale. In most cases, adding a person will do the trick. Be sure your human is dressed appropriately to fit the mood of the space. If it&#8217;s an office building, he or she should wear business attire, and so on. But the main goal here is to give the viewer a visual clue as to the relative size of the space being photographed.<\/p>\n<p>4. <b>Wait For The Right Light<\/b>: While this is especially true when shooting exteriors, light streaming in through windows will also affect the mood and quality of an image (and may also dictate whether you need to add your own light). You may want to visit a location multiple times to determine which time of day is best. Direct sunlight Early or late in the day can accentuate patterns and textures, adding depth to your composition. In addition, sunrise and sunset light is warmer and could be more flattering. Dusk is a time when the sky turns deep blue (or orange) and the exterior lights go on, transforming and emphasizing shapes and color in a totally different way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53259\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53259\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_213347473.jpg\" alt=\"Curvy street with old white houses\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_213347473.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_213347473-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53259\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>5. <b>Watch Your White Balance<\/b>. When shooting at night or indoors, be aware that the color temperature of the artificial light can change the perceived color of the architecture. This may not necessarily be a bad thing but it is something to be aware of. Rather than using auto white balance, shoot RAW and use a color calibration kit such as the <a title=\"Datacolor Spyder 4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/icvs4cap100.html\">Datacolor Spyder 4<\/a> to get the most accurate color from image capture through monitor display. Alternatively, consider using an <a title=\"X-Rite Color Checker Passport\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ghccp.html\">X-Rite Color Checker Passport<\/a> system as a reference to help you adjust color in post-production.<\/p>\n<p>6. <b>Look For Converging Lines<\/b>: If you have to tilt the camera up to get all of a building, you are going to come across the classic architecture photography bugaboo: Keystoning. Parallel lines start to converge, and the building that you are photographing appears to be falling backward. One way to correct this is to find a higher point of view and shoot the building straight on, but this is frequently physically impossible. Another way is to use a tilt-shift lens such as a <a title=\"Canon TS-E 17mm f4L\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/ca174afu.html\">Canon TS-E 17mm f\/4L<\/a>, or <a title=\"Nion 45mm f2.8 Perspective Control E Nikkor lens\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/nk4528pcu.html\">Nikon 45mm f\/2.8 Perspective Control lens<\/a>, which can be adjusted, view-camera style-to eliminate keystoning. If you are a casual architecture photographer (in other words, you don&#8217;t make a living at it, and don&#8217;t plan to) a T\/S lens may be too big an investment. Consider, instead, fixing the shot in Photoshop. Follow <a title=\"View Camera Moves in Adobe Photoshop\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/0008425\/article\/View-Camera-Moves-in-Adobe-Photoshop\">Diane Miller&#8217;s step-by-step directions here<\/a> (she&#8217;s using an older version of Photoshop, but the principles still apply to current editions).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53255\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53255\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_173728646.jpg\" alt=\"Buildings in city with black and white\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_173728646.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_173728646-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>7. <b>Embrace Distortion<\/b>: Sometimes, those same converging lines can be kinda cool. Use them to full advantage as a design element. A <a title=\"Wide-angle lenses at Adorama\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/0014767\/article\/widw-angle-and-fish-eye-lens-buying-guide\">wide angle lens<\/a> (the wider the better) can exaggerate the &#8220;building falling backward&#8221; look. Get up really close and shoot up, or down as the case may be.<\/p>\n<p>8. <b>Be Aware Of (But Not Intimidated By) The Weather<\/b>: When shooting outside, of course the direction of the sunlight is essential but what if it&#8217;s cloudy? This will soften the lines and shadows in a scene. If it&#8217;s rainy, you might find interesting reflections in puddles that you can include in your exterior shots. When shooting inside, keep in mind that interesting exterior light will spill into your scene, and to work with it. If shooting on a bright, sunny day, the light may be more difficult to work with and you&#8217;ll need to supplement with inside strobe.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53258\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53258\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_756481174.jpg\" alt=\"Light filled bedroom with a king size bed\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_756481174.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_756481174-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>9. <b>Look For Reflections (And Don&#8217;t Get Caught In One)<\/b>: Mirrors and windows reflect light and photographers! If you&#8217;re shooting a room with either one, be sure that you aren&#8217;t in the shot. Chimp, and enlarge to make sure. If you are bringing in your own light, test and make sure the light source doesn&#8217;t inadvertently bounce off a window or mirror into your camera. To control reflections, have a <a title=\"Polarizing Filters at Adorama\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/l\/Lens-Filters\/Polarizing-Filters\">polarizing filter<\/a> handy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>10. <b>Look For Details<\/b>: Pay attention to how lines interact with light and each other. Look at the material used in the walls, and how the angle of the light emphasizes their texture. If there is hard light in the scene, pay attention to where shadows fall. Shadowplay can add elements of interest to an image&#8211;or can be a distraction.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53257\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53257\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_381040891.jpg\" alt=\"Colorful architectural buildings\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_381040891.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/shutterstock_381040891-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>11. <b>Use The Best Image Quality Settings<\/b>: When shooting any kind of architecture, assume someone may want a nice, big print. Shoot at your camera&#8217;s native resolution setting (usually its ISO 100) to get the best overall image quality. From noise to color depth and dynamic range, all digital cameras perform their best at their native ISO. This will show the best possible details that will emerge when you blow the image up large. Even if you&#8217;re shooting a space on a self-assignment, you never know if an architect may want a copy if the shot&#8217;s really good.<\/p>\n<p>12. <b>Keep A Level Head<\/b>: One thing that will kill an architectural photo is a tilted horizon, or any line that should be horizontal or vertical but is oh so slightly diagonal. Some digital cameras have electric levels. For the rest of us, there&#8217;s <a title=\"LensCoat 3 Axis Hot Shoe Bubble Level\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lcbl3x.html\">this handy hotshoe bubble level<\/a>, available at
