Using the right equip­ment, select­ing unique per­spec­tives, and prop­erly han­dling expo­sure and color tem­per­a­ture, an ordi­nary build­ing can be trans­formed into a mon­u­men­tal sculp­ture. Key to great archi­tec­tural pho­tog­ra­phy is under­stand­ing image dis­tor­tion, find­ing the opti­mal time and angles to cap­ture a build­ing, and uti­liz­ing the best dig­i­tal tools available.

With recent devel­op­ments in dig­i­tal imag­ing— cam­eras, lenses, lights, and post-production software—photographers are now able to sep­a­rately expose for shad­ows, mid­tones, and high­lights, com­bine expo­sures into a sin­gle image, make adjust­ments to a RAW file and print directly from it, cre­ate cus­tom cam­era pro­files, and fine-tune color to a degree that was never before pos­si­ble. This course cov­ers a host of top­ics, from strobes and lenses to set­tings for inte­rior and exte­rior pho­tog­ra­phy, and demys­ti­fies dig­i­tal tech­niques like teth­ered shoot­ing, HDR, out­put sharp­en­ing, mask­ing, and stitch­ing. pre­req­ui­site: Pho­to­shop I, Photo II: Dig­i­tal, or port­fo­lio review note: This class is designed specif­i­cally for DSLR photographers.
