The definitive Architectural Photography TUTORIAL

Thank you, Ben! I've been following you for quite a while and always come away with more knowledge than I had before. I've been doing real estate photography for years and am happy that I'm already doing a lot of the things you mentioned. I would like to elevate my game and take on more of a higher-end architectural photography roll. Your tips are wonderfully explained and make perfect sense. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos!

Very informative! Thanks!

Can we all please stop using term "Architectural Photography" to describe interior photography?

hi ben, I dont recall that canon TS 24 len has a manual aperture ring on it therefore can you adjust aperture from a sony camera body via Sigma MC11 adapter ?

Very informative video Ben. Thanks for sharing your perspectives on architectural photography. Where is the link to your artificial lighting tutorial you mentioned? I could not find it. Thanks!

Great stuff mate! Your architectural work is stunning and it's wonderful to see how you go about the process. Cheers!

Another excellent video Ben. In theory, I know most of the technical aspects of this kind of photography, but as far as I can remember, apart from shooting some interiors for my Photography Diploma (many years ago) I don't think I have actually shot anything you could classify as Architectural Photography. Taking photographs in rooms or outside buildings with people as the subject doesn't count. Another skill to hone over the Autumn and winter months. However, I think The Grain Store would make a superb location for a model shoot too. I wonder if the owner would be open to renting it out for a day of model shooting with a few photographers splitting the costs? Once again, thanks for the inspiration, Ben.

Very interesting. It's not a type a photography that we hear frequently about. Thanks !

Nice one Ben, well put together and very informative.

Really nice video Ben. I've been doing some architectural photography of, well, my own house so you video is timely. Ours is a midcentury modern with a wall of glass facing NW and with the back wall, which comprises the living room, which is narrow and poorly lit. I general bracket about 5 exposure and do an HDR only on the exposures that seem to properly capture the highlights and shadows that I want detail from. I couldn't quite tell, as a matter of course do you bracket an interior scene? We also have a lot of framed pictures which have irritating reflections. A polarizer will take care of a bit of it but, physics being what it is a good bit will be left. How do you handle it? Finally, I thought the only thing missing from you video was a human component—I assume Chloe was unavailable🤣.

Great video Ben and a lot of relevant information. I've actually photographed The Grain Store myself, so was curious to see how you approached it. I've recently found the new guided tool in transform (Lightroom) very handy when it comes to getting both the horizontal lines and verticals spot on, as I always try to get some shots straight on.

Great video, Ben.
Architect and Photographer, a great combination and should give you total understanding of the process.
Tilt-Shift is also handy to get rid of your reflections too, so I’m told, I haven’t tried it yet.
I look forward to the next video. 👍🇦🇺

Nice work Ben! You presented a lot of information that’s extremely beneficial and helpful to anyone photographing architecture. Well done.

What a beautiful property. It is great to get another look at it in such detail! You mentioned tilt/shit, I'm waiting for my G9II to arrive, and it occurred to me that maybe Panasonic should put tilt/shift on the sensor. What do you think? It's the same body as their full-frame sensor. I'd think there should be room to shift it up to at least where the FF sensor sits. It also seems like tilting at the sensor would be very effective. Every lens a tilt/shift! Now, there is a MFT niche. Anyway, cheers!

Interesting video Ben and a good eye opener into what to think about in terms of a photography assignment. I just picked up the 17mm TS-E a couple of weeks ago and still getting to grips with it as its a bit different to the 24mm. Have a trip to Paris coming up and it will be in the bag so will spend this week ironing out the last few idiosyncrasies

Thanks~ splendid !📢

You always produce great videos, and this was another one!

I like to use "flambient" lighting. The main exposure is the flash image(s) and the ambient light exposure is a means of fixing what could potentially be a problem with shadow colour casts from the flash. As I'm only using the ambient light to add luminosity, I use the luminosity blend mode in PS (negating colour casts). I then blend the images together by unmasking areas in the ambient light exposure to fix the flash exposure problems.
