Architectural photography has become a very desirable subject in the art and design markets in recent years. If you happen to peruse the posters available in stores like Crate & Barrel you’ll see what I mean.
What this means to architectural photographers is that there are markets for your work other than assignments and traditional stock photography. I began to pay attention to this market when I had a client commission a group of photographs to hang in their corporate offices.
My client is a prominent residential builder and they wanted a series of fine art photographs to tell the story of their home construction process. I spent several weeks shooting black & white film at various active construction sites. In the end we settled on twenty images that I then hand printed on fiber base paper. The finished prints were professionally matted and framed, and now hang in the lobby of the builder’s headquarters.
