Comments from participants

The instructor was very good. The learning was very fruitful. The Center and classrooms are
very comfortable and conducive to learning.— Miguel Vecin, Digiprint
This is the best way to learn photography! I’ve bought books on photography, but nothing beats
someone explaining it to you. And the field trips really help you use what you learned!— Ramon
Quiros
The instructor is really good. I didn’t expect I would learn a lot in 3 days. Plus, for people like
me with a short attention span, I didn’t get bored. I was very enthusiastic to go to class for the
first time.— Kate Lim
The instructor was very helpful and accommodating. Job well done! And you can tell that he’s
an expert!— Rovi Herrera
I liked that we could ask questions about anything relevant to us, and that we were given both
parameters and freedom in shooting. I also like the many visual aids and after course assistance.
— Michelle Katigbak
The workshop was very informative and educational, at the same time very interesting. I surely
enjoyed learning from Mr. Miranda and the field shoot was a lot of fun … The class was small
and intimate. It allowed us more interaction with other students— Earle Lim
It was truly effective. I have learned how to appreciate my digital camera more. Now, I really
understand the basics.— Karen Avecilla
I like the fact that it was kept small. It became more interactive and the instructor and the
students had an easy time with each other.— Migi Soriano
This was a great course that finally allowed me to learn to use my camera in manual mode. The
teaching was excellent and of highest quality.— Silvia Holschneider
I loved how this class is hands-on. It focused more on application than lectures. I also loved how
much I've learned in so little time.— Kristian Sy
The learning atmosphere was not formal or uptight. This gave me a very relaxed feeling while
learning. The instructor is excellent! Very knowledgeable, at the same time approachable.—
Melissa Panganiban
It catered to both the naturally artistic and the non-artistic (like me!) to make the class more
enjoyable.— Clara Sibal
I learned quite a lot, and the course encouraged me to learn even more about this subject and
other related stuff. Makes me want to take the photos of all the people I know.— Sheila
Bartolome

Architectural Photography and Beyond
There's no escaping architectural photography, even if all you shoot are advertising,
weddings, fashion, news. If you do any location photography at all, you need to be adept with
interiors and exteriors as well.

In this workshop, you'll find out why an immobile subject actually requires a lot of preparation
and specialized technique. You'll study how structures "evolve" in the changing light of day, how
and when to add artificial lights to achieve the desired effect, and to get into the "character" of a
structure, like getting into a model's head.

This workshop isn't just for photographers who shoot for architectural magazines, hotels,
restaurants, and shops. Even fashion, wedding, and advertising photographers who shoot on
location face the challenge of working the essence of a venue into the shot, even if only as
backdrop.

What will be covered

• Basic and specialized equipment

• Analyzing the essence of a place
• “Reading” a structure
• Dealing with mixed light sources indoors and out
• Using strobes on location
• The best times to shoot, and what to do during less-than-ideal times
• Identifying and solving problems such as lens distortion, lighting, traffic, surroundings
• Photoshop operations specific to the needs of architectural photography
• Emphasizing lines, patterns, symmetry
• Useful and effective ways with light and shadow
• Flattening effect with lenses
• Establishing scale
• The most useful filters
• Actual location shoot

Who should attend

• Editorial photographers who shoot indoor and outdoor structures

• Industrial photographers
• Photographers who shoot for corporate annual reports, calendars, brochures, slide
presentations
• Advertising photographers who shoot structures themselves or products inside structures
• Fashion and wedding photographers who use interiors and exteriors as backdrop
• In-house staff responsible for photographing company facilities
• Amateur photographers wishing to develop their skill in a specialized field
Prerequisites

• Graduate of the PCCI basic photography workshop or equivalent experience with the
basic principles of camera operation, photography, and lighting
• Digital SLR with wideangle shorter than medium wide (28mm) and a telephoto range
• Graduate of the PCCI creative studio lighting workshop or equivalent experience
preferred but not necessary

Instructor

In a professional career spanning more than ten years, Francisco "Jojo" Guingona has
photographed interiors for Peninsula Manila, The Mandarin Oriental, The Lighthouse Resort in
Subic, and done assignments for Bluprint, The Philippine Tatler, and People Asia. [Read more]
