This involves photographing buildings from the outside, emphasizing their facade, shape, and integration with the surrounding environment.

• Best Time to Shoot: Early morning or late afternoon (golden hour) to capture soft lighting and shadows.

• Key Challenges: Dealing with weather, reflections on glass buildings, and distortions caused by wide-angle lenses.

Interior photography showcases the design, furniture, lighting, and spatial composition of a building’s interior.

• Best Time to Shoot: When natural light is abundant or with well-placed artificial lighting.

• Key Challenges: Balancing indoor lighting with outdoor exposure through windows.

Cityscape photography captures skylines, streets, and urban environments, often including multiple buildings in a single frame.

• Best Time to Shoot: Blue hour (just after sunset) to capture city lights.

• Key Challenges: Long exposures and dealing with moving objects (cars, pedestrians).

Some photographers focus on the artistic elements of architecture, capturing geometric patterns, reflections, and creative perspectives.

• Objective: Highlight symmetry, repetition, and visual illusions.
