The best is Candida Hofer, but don't tell anyone that she's a genre photographer. She's a capital-A Artist.

Anyway, the way that architectural photographers get such clean, crisp images is because, typically, they're shooting clean crisp subjects. Also, it doesn't hurt to use a tripod and f/8.

Same rules as landscape, except it's a landscape made up of of structures or interiors. Probably an easy way to approach it.

>phase one, the endgame digital of medium format
>still blows highlights

digital was a mistake.

A Phase One will take a shit fucking picture at 10 second shutter speed handheld you troglodyte. Go back to the gear thread you consumer whore.

>>3068473
Phase one is needed because it's actually going to massive size print. Otherwise any of the higher end current cameras 25-30MP and up can take a fine crisp image of structural interiors with plenty of clean detail. You don't need a 100MP camera to do it, but higher helps if it may ever need to print or display on a larger than usual screen or medium.

She actually shoots large format film for most of her body of work.

You can also make miniature format look great if you take your time, use a tripod, low iso and a long exposure. I'm not really sure why you even replied in this thread. Neck yourself my dude.

Good architectural photographers pay LOTS of attention to light and plan shoots around the best possible time to shoot a particular building or room.

My favorite local architecture photographer is Ema Peter. She uses a 5D Mk???? and Canon T/S lenses.

I can't think of one instance when a firm would need to make a big print of a photograph of their building. Any marketing / advertising is done prior to a building being built and involves renders, not photographs (since the building isn't built yet).

>>3068463
no you can do that with any sensor size, just need decent lighting or learn to set up lighting yourself.

>>3068463
They take control of everything, from the arrangement of furniture in the room, to the way it's lit, to all the exact camera settings and all of the post processing.

An opera house advertising their performance space in the usually large lobby with upcoming performances using pictures of past performances.

A museum advertising a new rare exhibition or art piece that will arrive or has arrived.

A dinosaur museum that makes a hugeass poster of a dinosaur to hang up in many places.

There are a lot of instances where it is needed. You should probably go out more.

A lot of architectural shots are really good renderings and not actual photos so maybe that answers some of your question.

I guess since I never actually tried it I shouldn't be so confident but it doesn't seem hard to me

You just need a low distortion ultra wide lens (or apply lens correction in post).
A tripod.
And position the camera straight so all lines are parallel.
Take a good exposure or take several and merge them into one image.
Do some light editing.
Done.

I don't see what could be hard. You can take your time since your subject is static. You can even use additional artificial lighting.

There's nothing special about that shot at all?

>implying it isnt intentional pp

>>3068475
It's funny how resolution aside an image from a $50000 digital camera doesn't look much different from a $100 one.

>>3068474
Blowing highlights is subjective. The camera absolutely had the range for that composition, must have been a conscious decision.
