What are the two kinds of architectural photography?

Architectural photography can be divided into realism and freehand brushwork.

Realism:

Realistic architectural photography requires faithful expression of the architect's design intention and architectural function, and objective and true reproduction of the facade, side elevation, perspective and interior decoration of the building.

In the past, architects or real estate developers often used architectural renderings to express the elegance of buildings, but they used more on-site photos, which would be more convincing. Realistic photographic pictures are usually used for commercial photography.

Freehand brushwork:

Freehand architectural photography belongs to the category of artistic photography, which mainly expresses the photographer's subjective feelings about architecture. Photographers embody their own photography ideas by observing and expressing buildings. This way of shooting can completely get rid of objective restrictions. According to the photographer's understanding and feeling, the beauty of rhythm, color and composition of architecture is expressed by various photographic techniques.

Architectural photography:

Architectural photography is a special photography that takes architecture as the shooting object and expresses architecture with photographic language. There are certain professional requirements in shooting themes, equipment selection, composition lighting, capturing moments and so on. An excellent work that can be recognized by photography and architecture is not only for viewing.

Moreover, it has a wide use value in news and business, especially in the academic field of architecture, because students in the architectural field at home and abroad, especially in colleges and universities, are used to communicating and learning through architectural photos in professional books and magazines, thus inspiring their design standards.

Therefore, how to make architectural photography develop synchronously with the construction industry in China requires the joint efforts of the architectural and photography circles.
