Understanding Architecture: What Makes a Beautiful City?

Understanding Architecture: What Makes a Beautiful City?

by Mike Kelley
As architecture photographers, it is our job to have a solid understanding of architecture. I recently taught a workshop to a group of aspiring photographers and when I asked “who is familiar with the work of Richard Meier? Zaha Hadid?” a shockingly low number of hands went up – which tells me we have a problem here!If

How Dave Kulesza’s Home Renovation Led to a New Career as an Architectural Photographer

by Veeral Patel
I recently had the opportunity to chat with one of my favourite fellow Melbourne based photographers, Dave Kulesza, about his journey into photographing interiors and architecture which transpired through a home renovation project.

Felix Mooneeram Documents the Effortlessly Cool ‘Ghost House’

by Lexi Taciak
BPN Architects’ Ghost House has been causing a ruckus across the architecture industry, winning awards and being picked up by publications; and rightfully so because it’s so stinkin’ cool! As-Cast concrete, huge windows, modern lighting, and bold symmetry make this house worthy of Project of the Week.
How to Use HDR and Get Away With It

How to Use HDR and Get Away With It

by György Palkó
HDR has become a dirty word in professional architectural photography. We’ve all seen the over-processed HDR real estate photos where the colors and tones are off, and everything looks crispy and awful. Don’t get me wrong; tasteful HDR like the work of Trey Ratcliff as an artistic choice, now that can be cool.
Finally, the Perfect Podcast for Architectural Photographers

Finally, the Perfect Podcast for Architectural Photographers

by Lexi Taciak
On edit days when I’m glued to my desk, unable to sit in silence, I cruise through entire discographies of music by the bushel. In an attempt to harness the time I’m sitting still, and actually learn something, I’ve turned to podcasts. It seems though, that there’s an endless amount of things to do at my desk and a finite amount of genuinely good content to consume.
Bernat Tubau Photographs a New Take on a Bygone Nordic Church

Bernat Tubau Photographs a New Take on a Bygone Nordic Church

by Lexi Taciak
In 2009, Våler Kirke (Vaaler Church for us English speaking folk) was lost to a fire. Mourned by the Norwegian town, a global competition was opened up for the church’s reconstruction. Architect Espen Surnevik was the victor and created the new design for the church which honors its heritage while putting a modern spin on the “rebirth” of the original structure from 1805.Oslo
The Credit Revolution: It’s Time to Give Visualization Artists The Credit They Deserve

The Credit Revolution: It’s Time to Give Visualization Artists The Credit They Deserve

by Mike Kelley
A group of high-profile architecture visualization professionals have banded together to ensure that they are properly credited when their work is disseminated throughout the architecture and media world at large. A problem that many photographers are also familiar with, for years, architectural visualization artists have found their work has gone uncredited when those assets are so vital to getting architecture projects off the ground.Led
Professional Photography in a Small Market: Is It Possible?

Professional Photography in a Small Market: Is It Possible?

by Mike Kelley
Architects, interior designers, developers, and hotels don’t just exist in big cities, and neither do architectural photographers. I personally know photographers everywhere from the biggest cities in the world to remote and desolate areas, and they all have different definitions of success – but one thing is for sure and that is they are all making a healthy living at it, although using different methods and approaches.I

Ask Appy: Am I Stuck in Real Estate Hell For All Eternity?

Ask Appy: Am I Stuck in Real Estate Hell For All Eternity?

by Mike Kelley
T asks: Does a photographer HAVE to shoot real estate to get into architecture? I have a wedding photography business that has produced a six-figure income five years in a row so I don’t need real estate to pay the bills. However, I definitely want to move out of weddings and into full-time architecture over the next, let’s say, 5-10 years.
The Emotional Rollercoaster of Professional Photography

The Emotional Rollercoaster of Professional Photography

by Mike Kelley
For the last four or five years, I have tried to produce one annual workshop for aspiring architecture and interior photographers. While I hope that they are technically helpful and the students come away with new skills and knowledge, one thing that I’ve noticed is that every year each workshop inevitably transforms into a session of group therapy for all involved.It’s

Leofoto Announces G2 Geared Head; Sets Sights Squarely on Arca Swiss

by Mike Kelley
I never thought I’d type the words “competition heats up in tiny geared head market” but alas, competition is heating up in the tiny geared head market. In a space that has been dominated by Manfrotto and Arca Swiss for, as far as I can tell, decades, new competitors are beginning to pop up – one of which is Chinese company LeoFoto, who recently announced their G2 geared head which seems to be a direct shot across the bow of Arca Swiss.The

How to Raise Your Rates While Mitigating Risk as a Photographer

by Mike Kelley
In order to grow your photography business, you must constantly be re-assessing and re-evaluating how you are doing business. One integral part of your business is how you price your services and capabilities; doing this incorrectly and undervaluing or overvaluing what you provide can be your downfall as a professional.
