I have two theme books in progress now, one art commission, my class to teach in Chicago, a big show coming up in Santa Fe next year and of course all the commercial work that pays the bills.......and that folks effectively eats up about all the spare time I have for a couple of years to come.Kirk Gittingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773143616266557555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422941991386722143.post-47389418913271978462010-05-23T11:54:04.733-06:002010-05-23T11:54:04.733-06:00I would like to suggest the following as a format ...I would like to suggest the following as a format for an introductory book: 1) Interviews with a variety of top architectural and/or interior photographers, in which they describe the type of clientele they typically work for, their current equipment and what they started out with, a couple of case studies showing the lighting set-up for some subjects they have shot, and any business practices that may be more specific to architectural/interior photography. 2) an overview of the range of standard equipment and accessories for this genre.<br /><br />While visual and problem-solving skills take time and experience to develop, and there are really no formulas for lighting, as in some other genres of photography, I think there are some things that can be done to give aspiring architectural/interior photographers some basic tools and examples to work off of.David Eichlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370427012895095185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422941991386722143.post-63850878411883883402010-04-24T06:12:08.371-06:002010-04-24T06:12:08.371-06:00I picked up the following books recently.

So far (again I haven't dug through them all) the Adrian Schulz book approaches the subject well from a technical and composition point of view (although it's focused mainly on exteriors). The Jim Lowe book looks promising, from a brief scan. You might want to thumb through any of these to see if they suit your interest for a review:<br /><br />Adrian Schulz, Architectural Photography: Composition, Capture, and Digital Image Processing<br /><br />Jim Lowe, Architectural Photography: Inside and Out<br /><br />Gerry Kopelow, Architectural Photography the Digital Way<br /><br />Norman McGrath, Architectural Photography: Professional Techniques for Shooting Interior and Exterior SpacesIan Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615760796587659802noreply@blogger.com
