Repeating patterns
Patterns are the perfect design elements for creative architecture photography. Search for any part of the building that has repeating shapes or lines. And then compose your photo to emphasize the repetition of architectural design element. The best way to do this is to fill the entire frame with the pattern. Move closer to eliminate the surroundings. You want the whole image to be filled with the pattern. If you have an iPhone with a telephoto lens, you could zoom in to get a closer view. Simply tap the 1x icon to zoom in. The icon will change to 2x which indicates you’re using the telephoto lens.
Include people
A person adds a strong focal point to the image. People are also great for creating a sense of scale in your architecture photography. It makes it easier to convey the enormity of a building when you have a person standing next to it. To make the building seem even larger, have the person stand far away in the distance. The further away they are, the smaller they’ll appear. Having a person in your architecture photos can also add an interesting storytelling element. And this creates more compelling photos that the viewer can engage with. Plus they do not need to smile.
