Perspective:
I took this photo myself from a very beautiful building in “Paris” and near the “Louvre” Museum. This building has a very beautiful architecture. But my main goal was to show “perspective” in photography. If the perspective is based on the principles, it helps to beautify the photo a lot. In general, it can be said that perspective adds depth to our image and makes the image seem more real. Remember that it is not a 3D photo and it is only a type of visualization that makes our image look like this. Just as we use blur to create a sense of speed in an image, we also use perspective to add depth to images. Anyone can take good pictures of a landscape or building with a digital camera. But if you want to create different images, it is better to look for specific angles of that subject during photography. This will make your image more effective. When you suddenly encounter a subject, don’t look for the first angle to shoot. Move the camera slightly to the left and right and try another angle. Even moving as much as one meter can have a great effect on the photo. Changing the angle allows you to see or record the world from a different angle. Lenses are a great way to change your perspective on a scene. Different lenses can help you a lot to get different perspectives. A telephoto lens tends to bring the subject and background closer together, while an ultra-wide-angle or fisheye lens makes the subject appear further away. I took the photo above with a 24- 70 lens. Pay attention to the parallel lines of the building, how smooth and uniform they are and lead the eyes to one point. In landscape photography, you can create beautiful perspectives. For example, when taking a photo of a natural landscape, you can frame the mountains with rows of trees. This could be the best photo you’ve ever taken. Or at least try a different perspective. This point is also very important when photographing architecture, and you don’t want to take a picture and go home. If you are traveling to start a different photo shoot, walk around the structure and try to get a different angle and take your shots. We all look at repetitive streets with our eyes every day, but it is better to change this look and record it with our camera.
Architectural photography is one of the attractive branches for those interested in architectural art and historical buildings, as well as one of the types of advertising photography, which has found a special place among advertising and architectural companies in recent years. In this genre, detailed photos are recorded using principles and techniques of the interior or exterior of new and historical buildings and modern structures. High dynamism and diversity have turned architecture into one of the attractive subjects for photography and created the branch of architectural photography. Architectural photos are done in two parts: exterior view and interior view. It usually seems easier to photograph from the outside. Because there is access to enough light. On the other hand, in interior photography, there are many problems related to light, and most of the time, the light entering the environment is filtered or colored. In the photography of the exterior of the buildings, the architectural lines are tried to be recorded straight and without distortion. Like other genres of photography, the best time to take photos of the exterior of buildings is after sunrise and before sunset, which is known as the golden hour. We need enough light to photograph the interior of buildings and record the details of architectural art. Even with light sources such as open windows in daylight or lights at night, there is still a need to add more light to the scene. For this reason, the use of portable lighting equipment will play an important role in preparing interior photos. The most important thing to take photos of the interior is to capture the details. So you can use wide lenses. One of the most important photographic equipment in the field of architecture is a professional camera. The best option for architectural photos is full frame SLR cameras. In architectural photography, the issue of perspective and the correct insertion of vertical and horizontal lines of views is discussed. To prevent distortion of lines, special lenses called „tilt and shift” have been produced for architectural photos. These lenses have high quality and allow architectural lines to be recorded completely smooth and without curvature. A strong and sturdy tripod can also help you a lot in recording quality images. A tripod helps to control the composition while preventing photo shake in low light conditions. Portable flashes are useful tools for shooting indoor scenes in low light conditions. With the help of these tools, you can take good photos of the interior of buildings in low light conditions. To avoid shadows, you can use three or four flashes at the same time. In architectural photography, you should pay special attention to composition. Because composition is one of the important factors of professional photography and has a direct relationship with the aesthetics of photos. To achieve the best quality of photos and their basic editing, you must use the RAW format of the camera.
