In many ways, photographing architectural subjects is simpler than other photography styles. Unlike dynamic subjects, architecture is static, so it doesn’t need to evoke emotions. However, capturing its beauty still requires a keen eye for detail and a strong sense of composition. Creating simplicity in architectural photography comes with its challenges, and there are many resources online to help refine your skills.
After diving into some research, I discovered a few techniques that I applied to the photos I’m sharing for the #monomad challenge. I took numerous shots but ended up selecting my top 7 favorites.
For the first image, I aimed to capture the simplest view with the most minimalistic appeal. Depending on how you interpret it, this photo might resemble a runway or serve as a backdrop for a sci-fi scene.
Another technique I employed was showcasing the symmetry of the architectural subject. While it sounds straightforward, achieving perfect symmetry can be quite challenging, especially when shooting with a handheld mobile phone. My "shaky" hands sometimes led to slight misalignments, making it a test of steadiness.
I also experimented with the Dutch angle technique, which added a unique twist to my photos. Unlike symmetry, the Dutch angle doesn’t rely on strict vertical and horizontal lines, making it easier to capture creative shots without the pressure of perfect alignment.
In conclusion, architectural photography offers a unique blend of simplicity and complexity. While capturing static subjects may seem easier, achieving the perfect shot still requires meticulous attention to detail and composition. By exploring techniques like minimalism, symmetry, and the Dutch angle, I was able to highlight the architectural beauty in my photos for the #monomad challenge, each presenting its distinct perspective.
Nice shots bro. I like your perspectives. Maybe I should try doing this. As I mainly do portraits only.
Thanks! new mrt stations have dope designs :D
