Architecture Photography

Campus Martius - 10am - 2 Hours

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

    It was good walked away learning a few things I didn't know. Also, it was great because it was just me and Sean, so had one on one attention for the three hours. I loved that Sean made me figure out what the correct settings needed to be for the pic that was being taken. It was a great way to spend the day.

    Sean arrived right on time. He was patient and extremely helpful. He answered all of my questions and and took time to explain things I didn't quite understand. I learned some techniques that were new to me and I'm looking forward to practicing them. I had a great time and would be glad to attend another session.

    Great location for the event. I wanted to get back in the rhythm of street photography. Kanajah was very helpful with her advice for taking photos. She had some great suggestions for other place to take photos in the Detroit area
