Description

What makes a good architecture photograph ? While taking a photograph of a building may at first seem easy, capturing the essence of architecture obviously requires patience and dedication. For a few years now, I've been figuring out how to transcribe into images the feelings conveyed by places I visit. I have to admit it, I have been struggling a lot when trying to find out what exposition or angle of view create legible pictures. Even ensuring that people are correctly captured in an architectural photo can be complicated when you have no experience. Maybe you feel that you would also like to learn about architecture photography, or improve your skills in this discipline.  Whether you are working or studying in the architecture field, or simply a photography enthusiast, this course is intended for you.In fact, Architecture Photography for Beginners — The Complete Course is a step-by-step guide to elevate your skills in architecture shooting, composition and edition.
