From advance planning and scouting to understanding how to work with natural, artificial or combinations of lighting sources, students will learn to create interior, exterior, and detailed images from a variety of architectural locations. Lectures, in-class demonstrations, assignments, critique and discussion, along with a group photo outing, will prepare students to identify locations of interest, plan for a photo session, adapt while onsite, and produce technically sound images both in design and quality of execution. Focus will be placed on the technical aspects of architectural photography and equipment, along with business topics including the market for such work, legal considerations, and gaining permission to access properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the depth of the material and assignment specifications, this will be a digital-based photo class, but students are welcome to apply their knowledge to film photography should they be so inclined, as many of the principles are medium-agnostic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents are expected to have a solid understanding of primary camera principles and manual operation, and the use of a tilt-shift lens is expected; students can purchase one or rent one as needed from local or online vendors.
