Book Description

This is a must-have guide both for aspiring students and for established professionals who need to keep up to speed with the current impact of recent digital developments.

Brief histories of both architecture and architectural photography lay the foundations for the technical applications that follow. This third edition provides increased coverage of the revolution in digital photography, which is forcing all photographers to review their practices. The pros and cons of these developments are assessed through a comparison of the film and digital mediums and the highly debated variances in their quality and cost.
