After an introduction to the history and the various areas in which architectural photography is used, the authors, themselves professionals working in the fields of building and documentation, address the technical and design-related aspects.They discuss the best equipment for the job as well as such vital issues as focal length, perspective, white balance, filters, HDR and digital post-processing on the computer. The practical section describes with clarity and precision just how the theory should be applied in practice.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Architectural photography is a very specific challenge and involves a very special approach to architecture. This book in the Construction and Design Manual series gives a wellgrounded

introduction to the necessary skills, techniques, and

equipment while at the same time illustrating that the key to

premium architectural photography is something far beyond

the mere mechanics of focus, exposure, and composition.

An overview of the history of architectural photography and

the fields in which it comes into play is followed by a detailed

technical section discussing equipment, focal length,

perspective, white balance, filters, HDR, and digital postprocessing.

This beautifully illustrated, hands-on companion

provides both practical information and inspiration for anyone

interested in architectural photography.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 278-279) and index.
