Architectural 
Photography

Architectural photography is the art of photographing buildings, construction sites, airports | planes, train stations | trains, malls, towns and sites, cities, bridges, dams, interiors—columns | domes | windows, complexes, historical sites, commissioned work and interior design. And focuses on architectural photography for cultural significance, art and beauty, historical documentation, and of course, the marketing, sale or rental of commercial buildings, homes and malls.

Photographers from CMS Photography use telephoto lenses to compress a scene or object and reveal interesting patterns and textures and abstractions. Wide-angle lenses distort with a forced perspective for example a jutting fore-edge of a building. The top floor of a tall, modern building seems to sail over your head like a low-flying aircraft. Stand at the base of skyscrapers, shoot up and the tops almost disappear as they grow skyward. Movement shows the paths the viewer’s eye follows to the photographer’s attention areas.
