Abstract Architectural Photography for Instagram

“We have reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you have learnt all the steps to make your own series of geometric compositions based on architecture photography. I also hope that I have given you many ideas and pointers to apply in your own projects.

If you follow the lessons, you will see that you can come a long way with just your camera phone and a couple of apps. I would like you to be original and creative when uploading your final project. I want to see your own vision of your city, the architecture that surrounds you, and how you capture it. Start with researching your building. For this, you can use Google Street View to take a virtual tour around it. And then you can also research the history and story of your chosen building, as this might give some ideas on where to focus. After that take a field exploration. Walk around your subject and try to find those hidden gems of architecture: corners, patterns, reflections, and ornaments. When framing and composing, try to use your viewfinder to move around and find the right frame. This way you can create perspective and geometry using lines of the architecture. Don’t forget to take as many pictures as possible, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Use Instagram Layout to create the geometric composition by flipping and mirroring the images. You can then use Snapseed to tweak the colors to enhance the geometry. Instagram is a great tool to share your work. You can create an aesthetically pleasing grid by alternating a series of compositions that are similar in color and texture. Don’t forget to use hashtags, as they can help you reach a wider audience. Don’t be afraid to experiment, try playing around with your compositions, and have fun! You can use your final pieces to create a nice portfolio in IG. Or you can use them to create posters or postcards. Also, don’t forget, you can participate in the forum. Give ideas or feedback to other members of the community. You’ll find you will learn so much from others! It has been a pleasure to share with you my own vision of architecture photography. See you in the forum. Thank you and goodbye! ”
