The Architectural Photography course is a training designed to deepen the techniques and skills needed to represent architectural spaces.
The course consists of a series of lectures covering both the technical aspects of shooting and equipment, as well as theoretical aspects related to the history of photography and the representation of architecture in its social dimension, both in relation to the individual and to the urban public space.
