Learning to photograph buildings is a great way to understand light, composition and timing. Both indoor and outdoor photography require planning and experimentation, but following certain guidelines will make it easier to get flattering pictures of the insides and outsides of buildings.
Instructions
Shooting Buildings From Inside
- 1
Scout the inside of the building to find interesting or significant subjects to photograph. Mount the camera on a tripod after you found a good vantage point and put the camera in manual mode.
2Take several shots with different settings until you reach a satisfactory exposure. Often photographers will have success when using window light to illuminate their compositions. Overexpose your image to let more window light into the scene.
3Mount an external flash to your camera and aim it upward or backward for it to act as a fill light. Bouncing your flash off of a ceiling or wall will help to lower the contrast of the shadows cast by the window light. Adjust the power of the flash until the brightness of the fill flash is just slightly darker than the window light.
Shooting Buildings From Outside
- 4
Scout the outside of the building the day before you shooting if you can. Become aware of what directions each side of the building faces. Ideally you will want a good frontal shot of the building. If it faces east, the best lighting for it will be at sunrise. If the building faces west, the good light will come in the evening. If the building faces north, you will need to tweak the camera's white balance setting to "Shade," but shooting at either sunrise or sunset will be beneficial as the rising or falling sun will add a pleasing gradient to the background.
5Find a good vantage point and mount the camera on the tripod about one hour before the good light comes. Set the camera to aperture-priority mode and turn the main dial until the aperture is f/22. This will ensure that the entire building is in focus.
6Take exposures of the building continually as the sun rises or falls. Load the pictures onto your computer and look through each one to find the image with the best lighting.
