Architectural Photography: Concepts & Strategies

By George Fellner, AIA

Connecticut Valley Camera Club
Deep River Library
Monday, August 31, 7:00pm

This program will cover the essentials of architectural photography in terms of concepts and strategies. The subject matter will cover equipment, camera settings, goals, building/site context, lighting, composition, people, culture, perspective, architectural elements and details, among other topics, as they relate to both interior and exterior architectural photography. In addition, playful juxtapositions will be presented, revealing the potential for creative images. Furthermore, the multiple and integrated use of architectural photography for the design process and architectural practice as a whole will be illustrated with actual projects. This program is for anyone who is interested in the built environment and in photographing the rich diversity that is inherent in architecture. As both an architect and a photographer, George Fellner will provide his unique perspective on architectural photography, review strategies, and share his personal experiences.

George Fellner received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Virginia Tech and his Master of Architecture degree from the University of Florida. As principal of Fellner Associates Architects, he continues to utilize his design sensitivities for creative photography. He is the program director of the Connecticut Valley Camera Club and the co-chairman of the Committee on the Environment for the American Institute of Architects, CT Chapter. Fellner regularly gives presentations on architecture, sustainable design, and the environment, as well as photography. His images have appeared in travel guides, national journals, newspapers, business publications, and the recent book Green Homes: Dwellings for the 21st Century, as well as in numerous juried exhibitions. In addition, his photographs of Imaginary Realms, surrealistic macro images of minerals and crystals, have been featured in exhibitions at the EO Art Lab Gallery in Chester, CT.
