This lecture will explore the art and craft of architectural photography, delving into the key elements that transform structures into compelling visual narratives. We will examine:

• Visual Properties: An in-depth exploration of lines, textures, patterns, and colors within architecture, and how to effectively capture and emphasize these elements for impactful imagery.
• Shift Lenses: Understanding the unique capabilities of shift lenses in architectural photography, including their role in correcting perspective distortions, capturing precise details, and achieving dynamic compositions.
• Telling a Memorable Story: Beyond mere documentation, we will discuss how to imbue architectural photographs with narrative power, conveying the essence, history, and atmosphere of the built environment.

This lecture is designed for photographers of all levels, from enthusiasts to professionals, who seek to enhance their understanding and skills in capturing the beauty and complexity of the architectural world.
