Architecture Photography Trends: Low-Tech


"The fact that a (in the traditional sense) technically deficient photograph can have greater emotional impact than a technically flawless picture probably comes as a shock to those who are naive enough to believe that technical excellence alone is a measure of a value of a photograph."
- Andreas Feininger


Who said you have to have an expensive performant camera in order to take beautiful Architecture photographs? Artistic architecture photography can very well be about experimentation and low-tech gear such as toy-cameras, expired film or Lensbaby lenses can give your clichés a completely new look. These experimentations withdraw the very objective feel that most viewers find in architecture photographs and the results can have a lot of personal attitude compared to the traditional views.

Enjoy these few examples of Low-Tech photographs from the Architecture category!


Holga


The Holga is a medium format 120 film toy camera, made in Hong Kong, known for its low-fidelity aesthetic. The Holga's low-cost construction and simple meniscus lens often yields pictures that display vignetting, blur, light leaks, and other distortions.

Lensbaby

Lensbaby is a line of camera lenses for SLR cameras that combine a simple lens with a bellows or ball and socket mechanism for use in special-effect photography. A lensbaby can give effects normally associated with view cameras. The lenses are popular with photographers for the creative possibilities of the selective focus and bokeh effects.

Polaroid


A Polaroid camera (or instant camera) is a type of camera that generates a developed film image. The colours in Polaroid photographs are not very faithful and they usually have a vintage feel since such cameras were widely used in the past.
