Have you ever spent the day on location only to return home to go through the day’s work and realize that some of the images have motion blur? This is probably one of the most annoying little things you may encounter when starting to work as an architecture or interiors photographer.

Chase Daniel Takes Us Inside a Perfect Palm Springs Residence

Chase Daniel Takes Us Inside a Perfect Palm Springs Residence

by Lexi Taciak
It’s official. I want to be Chase Daniel when I grow up. I could go on and on about his work forever, but it’s probably just easier to show you how beautiful, clean, and well thought out each of his compositions are. I drooled over Chase’s website for an absurd amount of time — scrolling through Japanese/Texas fusion restaurants, smokey bars, cowboy boot peddlers, cabins, and ranches.
Thinking Beyond Beautiful Imagery: The Architectural Photographer’s Role in Documenting a Changing Urban Landscape

Thinking Beyond Beautiful Imagery: The Architectural Photographer’s Role in Documenting a Changing Urban Landscape

by Veeral Patel
At the start of 2019, one of my goals was to understand the nuances of architecture. More specifically, to understand the social issues around architecture in the urban environment. As a photographer who has been photographing architecture and interiors for a few years, I have been absorbed by the prettiness of my chosen discipline yet unaware of the social implications of architecture.

Sharyn Cairns is the Wonder Woman of Australian architectural photography. Her portfolio sports a healthy mix of work – from commercial projects, cuisine, and travel – but the crown jewels are certainly her interiors. She conjures up rich images with interesting light.

Photographing a Tidy Interior Design Project with Jack Lovel

by Lexi Taciak
Here on Architectural Photography Almanac, we tend to focus on — well — architecture. Not to be overlooked though, is photography with an emphasis on the design of a space. This Project of the Week by Melbourne based Jack Lovel is great study on clean edits, simplicity, and the “less is more” aspect that shines when working with interior designers.

Has the Fujifilm GFX Redefined Medium Format?

by Usman Dawood
Fujifilm is currently my favorite camera company within the photography industry. I find that they’re one of the very few companies that properly pushing the boundaries and delivering feature-filled cameras at very reasonable prices. The Fujifilm X-T3, for example, is incredible value for money.

Dear Appy: Nightmare Clients, Taking Control, and Simple Billing

by Mike Kelley
MW asks: Have you ever had a client that micromanages to the point where they say “take the photo from exactly right here and make sure you get everything I took in this iPhone picture for reference”? If so, how have you dealt with working in that situation?
When Your Lenses Just Aren’t Long Enough, it’s Time For an Extender

When Your Lenses Just Aren’t Long Enough, it’s Time For an Extender

by György Palkó
There are many situations where the 24mm TS (Nikon or Canon) — our standard lens for architectural photography — isn’t quite long enough. Maybe you want to make a detailed vignette. Maybe you’d like to hide the side of a building which doesn’t look so great.

The 60mp Sensor in the Sony a7R IV Is Still Not Enough for Architecture

by Usman Dawood
I can appreciate that many of you may assume I’m simply trying to trigger photographers with this article and its “clickbait” title. That is honestly not my intention because I firmly believe in what I’m about to discuss and I’m going to explain why I think what I do.

Andy Macpherson On Photographing Australia’s Trendsetting Design Scene

by Veeral Patel
I have been following Andy Macpherson‘s work on Instagram for a couple of years and have been fascinated with the amazing homes he has been photographing from Byron Bay to Queensland. Being located in regional New South Wales, Australia, near the border of NSW and Queensland, Andy has carved a name for himself in a relatively short span of time while photographing for some prolific Australian architectural firms.
One Of The Fastest Ways To Become a Better Photographer

One Of The Fastest Ways To Become a Better Photographer

by Mike Kelley
Sorry, I'm clickbaiting you here. There are a few oft-repeated phrases that will help you to "become a better photographer." These platitudes include things such as placing yourself in more interesting situations, concerning yourself (a true master, of course) with the qualities of light rather than gear, slowing down to make better photographs, speeding up to make better photographs, and on and on. I'm here to tell you that the single most important thing is...
Rendered Images Disqualify Project From Final Stage of Dezeen Awards

Rendered Images Disqualify Project From Final Stage of Dezeen Awards

by Mike Kelley
In the ongoing discussion of renders vs. reality, a very keen-eyed Dezeen viewer noticed that a shortlisted project for the 2019 Dezeen Awards was actually a render, not a photo.
