So today I am going to talk about how to capture stunning architectural photographs using your mobile phone .
Let's start
Try Different Perspectives:
- Experiment with unique angles. Instead of the typical straight-on view, consider:
- Ant’s-Eye View: Stand near the base of a building and look up. Capture what an ant would see, including how much sky you want to include.
- Bird’s-Eye View: Photograph from a high point, looking down at the architecture

Shoot at Different Times of the Day:
- The lighting and shadows change throughout the day, affecting the appearance of the building. Wait for the right moment to capture dynamic, three-dimensional shots.
- Morning and late afternoon often provide soft, warm light that enhances architectural details

Step Inside the Building:
- Don’t limit yourself to exterior shots. Explore the building’s interior.
- Focus on windows: They allow light to filter in, creating interesting silhouettes. Position your subject in front of a window and shoot toward the light. You can adjust brightness during editing if needed.
- Avoid using flash, as it can flatten images and reduce depth
