An examination of the many different ways of photographing the built environment and the ways in which photographers can market their work to clients such as architects, magazines and stock picture libraries. Using a selection of colour and black and white images from leading architectural photographers, Photographing Buildings explores every major aspect of photographing buildings, including exteriors, interiors, architectural detail and cityscapes and investigates the equipment and techniques used. It looks at straightforward record shots as well as a more creative approach.

Of particular use to professional photographers are the sections on assignments and selling your work. ‘Assignments’ details how three photographers dealt with a selection of different briefs. For example Koen van Damme’s interior work on the new Bacob bank building in Kalmthout, Belgium. The company specializes in minimalist, stripped-down design and van Damme’s brief was to capture the essence of this in the photographs. ‘Selling Your Work’ gives invaluable advice on how to approach the different markets for architectural photography including picture libraries, publishers, websites and the fine art market.
