Architectural Photography: From the Models to the Built World

The first segment of the class looks at various ways of photographing architectural models from standard depictions in which the images are meant to closely resemble a full-scale construction to alternate approaches that play with what the architectural model can communicate. It attempts to address themes beyond the presentation of a finished building or a rendering. The second half focuses on photographing various constructed spaces, both exterior and interior. The class discusses approaches to photography from “objective” to “ expressive” and explore notions of the iconic, the narrative, and digression in architectural photography.
