Films were slow buildings were stationary
photographs had a lot of detail,
varied tones/ value
Charles Negre- 1840s: used photography to create studies for paintings;
use photographs as "sketches" for paintings
photographs= indirect portraits
can be formal or informal
Film
architectural photographs divided into two types, commercial and artistic
commercial- magazines, brochures: most always shot in color
artistic- black and white emphasize values and shapes and texture
Lighting
important interior architectural photography
inside building have dif. lomds pf lighting used
film cant adjus to differnt colors
Lenses
wide-angle lenses are very useful
wider the lens, the more distortion you get
Camera Support
slow, fine-grained film and lots of depth of field
use tripod when walking around taking snapshots
monopods, single-legged camera supports for walking around, but not for interior photographs
Filters
using yellow or orange filters will separate the clouds form the sky
the clouds stand out;
also brings out the texture in the stone and concrete
THE BIG VIEW
shooting with wide-angle lens is convenient
has drawbacks:
perspective distortion- the closer you are the more distortion you'll get
get as far as possible and use the least wide-angle lens possible
shoot straight from the front
make building look flat and 2D
Detail Shot
features the individual architectural elements building's interior or exterior
telephoto lens: stand at street level and zero in on an intriguing element
Interior Views
need wide-angle lenses to photograph entire rooms for the big view
look better when nearly everything in the picture is in focus, requires great depth of field
closer to the subject= m,ore depth of field so higher f-stop
