Book Now!

The ‘Square Mile’ of the City of London represents an outstanding background in which to explore this Architectural Photography Tour.

A diverse and eclectic mix of some of the most iconic, modern and historic superstructures, the ultimate embodiment of a dynamic and progressive Cityscape in which imposing skyscrapers dominate the skyline.

Architectural photography is extremely popular. This tour reflects the perspective of panoramic scenery within a relatively small area.
Superstructures such as the Lloyds Building, The Gherkin and The Walkie Talkie, contest the space alongside historic Christopher Wren Churches and an assortment of Neoclassical and Imperial Gothic financial institutions.

This gives us substantial photogenic content in every direction and provides a platform from which to develop your creativity.

On this Tour we will give you guidance with:

• Lighting, it is crucial to architectural photography emphasising structure, space and atmosphere.
• Help pick out interesting detail – modern buildings have amazing lines of symmetry and convey the character of the architecture
• Show you how to photograph from a different perspective – look up when you are in close proximity to your subject, the images can be stunning.
• Experiment with wide angle lenses to produce extreme perspective.
• When to use a telephoto lens to photograph your architecture from further away and the abstract effects this creates.
• When to use colour to highlight the most important features of a building and when to use black and white to emphasise structural lines and patterns – use of gray scale.
• The direction of the sun and your position. How to create shadows, reflections and make contrast.
• Photographing in public spaces and your responsibilities as a photographer.

Suitable for all digital cameras & phones.
