A Showcase of Beautiful Architectural Photography
Architecture is probably one of the most complex forms of art. Not only should it be beautiful, but it must also be functional. The same thing can be said about other forms of art like web design, but architecture takes place in the real world with real materials, and on a much larger scale.
Since we are most often surrounded by architecture in our daily lives, it’s to be expected that architecture is a popular subject for photographers. In this article, we are presenting a showcase of beautiful architectural photography. In these photos you’ll notice a strong focus on composition and lighting. As well, many are shot from angles that reveal beauty in the structures that probably goes unnoticed by passers-by.
Make sure you click on each photo to see a larger version and learn more about each of the talented photographers behind the cameras.

March 7, 2010I think Alex Roman’s “The Third and The Seventh” would deserve some extra attention here. It’s a cinematographic view of architectural beauty, made entirely of CGI.

April 5, 2010Great collection of architectural photography! I love taking pics of commercial buildings and noticed the last one in particular because it’s also in my personal portfolio. I took it last year in October while touring San Francisco.
