Architectural photography is the art and practice of capturing buildings and structures, focusing on their design, form and function using specialized techniques like perspective control to present them accurately or artistically, balancing precise documentation with the aesthetic appeal for purposes ranging from marketing to fine art. It involves capturing exteriors, interiors, and structures, using natural and artificial light, and mastering composition to convey the essence of the built environment.
