Architecture Photography

Architecture Photography

Saturday 06 September
Centre Street SW - 10am - 2 Hours
William Chornobrywy
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.

    Will was great! It was pouring rain so we ended up reviewing the camera so now I know how to use the manual mode as well as many effects that can be created. It was so worth showing up in the rain! Thanks Will!

    The event gave me an opportunity to take photos of things that aren't usually in my comfort zone. William brought lots of mirrors and 3D objects for us to try. I liked that we had input into some of the places we photographed.

    We were hoping to hike to Troll Falls, Kananaskis, to check out an ND 64 filter I had just purchased. Due to the upcoming G7 meeting it was closed and we ended up doing the Widow Maker trail along the Kananaskis River.. I ended up taking this photo and was quite happy with the effect!
