Purchase TicketsArchitectural photography is more than just an art form. It’s an opportunity to highlight, with impeccable clarity, a magnificent and singular idea. To share a concept with the world. To capture a time and place as it may never be seen again. Photographing a building is an act of service, rooted in creative curiosity, for the benefit of posterity.
But the process entails much more than simply hiring a photographer and hoping for the best. The best designers prepare and collaborate in specific, strategic ways, leading to high-impact photos that do more than capture an image—they tell a story.
Interested in learning more about how they do that? Join an all-star panel of architects and architectural photographers for a candid talk about the do’s and don’ts of shooting buildings. And enjoy lunch while you’re at it.
