Architectural photography aims to be more than just a visual tool. At its core, it tries to interpret and communicate the various aspects of architectural design. An architectural photographer doesn't just take pictures, he creates images. He recognizes the virtues of the space and uses his tools and knowledge to highlight them.
For an architect, photographing architecture and the urban landscape in general is more than a means of representation. Photography expresses his need for free expression, helping him to explore both his personal aesthetics and his environment, in a creative context where he is not limited by functional factors.
However, architectural design gives the architect the ability to create something that will have a direct impact on people's lives, on the atmosphere of a place, on society in general. Therefore we can say that these two expressions complement each other allowing the architect-photographer to express himself as a whole.
