You put tons of effort into making great projects but does your business employ photography that best presents its high quality?  Do your images compare to those in national design magazines?  In this two for one program, participants will learn what to look for when hiring a pro and hoe to create striking architectural photographs on your own and increase your bottom line.  Hiring a professional often nets the best results but not always. Architectural photography is not like any other.  Knowing what will draw the viewer’s eye to what you want them to see, namely, your work is critical. You’ll see how some photographers get it wrong and how to avoid those mistakes.  Want to try it on your own? Learn from a designer who is also a professional photographer.  With some investment you don’t need to be a pro to use pro tricks. You’ll learn about good camera and lens combinations, simple lighting tricks, where to place your camera, what to focus on, post processing and composting multiple images and much more.  (.1 NKBA CEU Credit)
