Architectural photography is one of the classic disciplines of creative photography. It is here that the architect’s design ideas come together with those of the photographer.
At the Zollhaus park apartment complex, a housing development built between 1957 and 1966, we want to explore the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s through photography. The architect was Gerhard G. Dittrich of Nuremberg.
Here we find a self-contained complex with over 900 apartments that captivates with its architectural diversity and understated beauty. The synthesis of architecture, landscaping—featuring numerous green spaces—and art is impressive, and the complex has been a designated historic landmark since 1999.
In this setting, we’ll go on a journey of discovery, explore lines and contrasts, and find our subjects in everything from landscape architecture to small details.
The neighborhood is within easy walking distance of the convention center; depending on the situation, we might take the subway there together.
Here’s what you’ll learn in the photography workshop
- How to stage architecture with lines, shapes and perspectives in an exciting way
- How contrasts and structures enhance your image effect
- How to consciously perceive details and graphic elements
- How architecture and landscape design interact photographically
- How to sharpen your photographic eye for urban motifs
- How creative image ideas emerge from everyday architecture
During the joint photo walk through the Zollhaus park apartment complex, you will receive practical tips, creative impulses and individual feedback directly on site.
Your Goal After the Photography Workshop
By the end of the photo walk, you will have developed a better feel for architectural photography and will be able to photograph shapes, structures and urban spaces more consciously.
