How do photographers make buildings look particularly artistic?

Find some local distinctive buildings, some buildings worth shooting. The city must be very big, and some distinctive buildings are often ignored by us. Search from the internet and look at the text of the introduction. Maybe you can find some interesting buildings.

Before you want to shoot a building, it can give you some inspiration and avoid some possible problems by looking at the existing shooting angles on the Internet. It is necessary to carry a tripod.

The second step: plan when to shoot, determine a specific date and time period, and estimate what kind of lighting effect is the best for such a building. For example, if you photograph the appearance of a railway station, then the blue sky and white clouds are the perfect background colors. However, in the two photos we saw above, klinger chose to shoot on a cloudy day. Because the ceiling of the building is transparent, too strong light ratio will cause unnecessary shadows and affect the balanced composition lines. Photography is an ever-changing art, because of the light, color, angle and other reasons, the same scene may look completely different. Therefore, finding good angles and elements to express your role is the charm of photography, especially architectural photography.

Step 3: Slow down "When I get to the shooting location, I will walk around and observe, instead of taking out my camera to take an emergency shot." Klinger told the author. "Because rushing to take out the camera will interfere with your perspective, the view from the viewfinder is definitely limited." The convenience of digital photography leads people to observe less and less things. Although klinger didn't explain more about how to take architectural photos, his three points are still very useful and often ignored by us.

In the field of architectural photography, symmetry is one of the most widely used composition methods. Symmetrical lines, spaces and structures give people a sense of balance that cannot be disturbed. Of course, this is not the whole of architectural photography, and some original architectural photography is also very interesting.
