Lighting: Study how to use natural and artificial light to best showcase architectural features and navigate different lighting conditions.

Specialized techniques: Explore advanced methods such as HDR, panoramas, and using drones for unique aerial perspectives. 

Who will benefit from this class:

Aspiring and professional photographers interested in a new genre.

Students and professionals in fields like real estate, architecture, interior design, and engineering.

Travelers who want to enhance their travel photos.

Anyone interested in documenting and visually interpreting spaces. 

This class teaches students to capture the art and science of buildings through photography, focusing on techniques like composition, lighting, and perspective to create compelling images. You will learn to use both professional and smartphone cameras to document architectural exteriors and interiors, and gain skills in post-processing, such as correcting distortions and enhancing color. This includes understanding how to use specialized tools like tilt-shift lenses and mastering workflows from site scouting to final presentation. This class will start in the classroom followed by a field shoot on the beautiful Univ. of North Georgia campus in Dahlonega.
