This fascinating course will introduce you to the fine art of architectural photography, giving you hands-on experience on location and in the studio of the equipment and processing involved, as well as an understanding of the history and development of the genre and its impact on our perceptions of the built environment. Exploring nearby London (involving walking around 1km) we will develop your ability to recognise architectural styles, spot the optimum angles to capture and the best time of day to do it, then guide you through the editing and processing of your images back in the studio.
