In Michael Wolf’s latest photography series, entitled ‘Architecture of Density’, the urban landscapes of Hong Kong are explored.

Striking Architectural Photos Shot From The Perfect Angle

Noam Galai — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:46:11 +0000

Architectural (and real-estate) photography is one of the most challenging and technical types of photography. In most cases, the goal is to get a clean shot with perfect lighting showing the place at its best and “sell” it to the viewer. It usually means the photo will show the location in a wide-’normal’ angle and without distortion. But there is a different kind of Architectural photography that shows buildings and rooms in a unique angle, creative lighting, and usually shows only small part of it. It’s about making art out of architecture. [more]

The Surreal Architecture Of Jim Kazanjian

Aaron Lindberg — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:00:09 +0000

Jim Kazanjian’s surreal architecture images are a dreamlike scene that teeterings on turning into a nightmare at any moment. The dark dreamy mood and beautiful decay of crumbling elements allows the viewer to peek into a darker scene of a fictitious location. The hyper realism of the photographs was perplexing and I assumed that the images were shot and pieced together, little did I know that Kazanjian doesn’t use a camera for his creations. [more]

Some of you may have seen the new series “Revolution,” in which power around the world goes out. Thierry Cohen applies the same concept to some of his work by showing what vast urban areas might look like without light pollution. [more]

The Inspiring 8 Second Exposure Project

David Strauss — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:21:30 +0000

To have an eye for fine art requires a special kind of talent. Nicolas Ruel does a fantastic job of creating unique photographs that capture the essence of a city in his “8 Seconds” project. For all of his images within the project, he sets the camera to an 8 second exposure and changes perspective mid shot. This lets him capture a layering effect in a single shot.

Urban photography by Tom Ryaboi

Chris Lambeth — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:53:44 +0000

One thing I love about photography is when people take different approaches on it. Tom Ryaboi does that extremely well. Granted, some of these shots are your standard architectural/urban shots, however, most of them are stunning. The main thing I am wondering about Toms shot on the roof of the building, is it real? Composite? What do you guys think? [more]

Mike Kelley — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:00:38 +0000

I know that many of our readers are real estate photographers or have at least tried their hand at real estate photography. The most common method used to create ‘good enough’ real estate photos is HDR: whether it is tonemapping or exposure fusion, HDR is definitely the most-used method for real estate and beginner interior photographers. In this post, I’ll do a comparison between tonemapping, exposure fusion, single on-camera flash, and multiple off-camera flash, and show you the benefits (or disadvantages, rather) of each. [more]
