Architecture Photography

Architecture Photography

Saturday 17 May
Willesborough Rd - 11am - 2 Hours
Ashford Photography Group
Nathanael Lowden
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Title or Location: Isabelle's 1910 Home
This is an acrylic paintiTitle & Location: Plainfield, IndianaThis painting "Isabelle's 1910 Home", 12"x16?, was created as a mixed-media painting. The pictures of the house and a girl on the canvas were taken by an iPhone camera. I printed the photo on paper and tore along the edges. Then, I glued it to the canvas. I applied acrylic paint around the photos. During the Victorian era, they had many perennial gardens and decorated their interiors with lots of colored floral wallpaper.
