creates an indirect portrait
The big view- an overall picture of a building or piece of architecture
Interior View- a photograph of the inside of the building
Detail shot- a photograph that shows detail in the architecture.
Architecture has always been a common subject for photographers because buildings do not move and a picture could take hours to expose.
Frederick H. Evans- British photographer from 1890s to 1920s. Known for showing emotion
Charles Negre- 1840s- French painter who began photography to mimic his sketches
Eugene Atget- French sailor in 1890s. Self taught, used 'old fashioned' cameras and lenses
Camera settings- use a smaller f stop and slower shutter speed to bring in light and get a larger depth of field.
Color emphasizes setting and color of building
B&W- emphasize values, shapes, and textures
Incandescent light is too orange while fluorescent lights are green
Use an 80A blue filter if shooting film
Use wide lenses but try to cut down on distortion in the picture
Tripods allow for more setup time on the actual photograph and help to create a better exposure
Filters- While using B&W film, orange and yellow filters help to separate clouds in the sky from each other
Orange and yellow will also bring out textures in stone and allow the photo to feel more touchable
Polarizer- filter that can darken the sky to create separation
The big view- wide angle
perspective distortion- strong converging lines in a building, sides angle together
Angle of shooting is very important, whether straight away or angled
This photograph is taken straight away
Detail shot features the individual architectural elements of the interior or exterior
Stone buildings allow for powerful inspiration while shooting detail
Interior views show the inside of the buildings, ranging in distance of 4-20 feet. The aperture should be somewhere between f/11 and f/22
