What camera equipment do I need for this architectural photography workshop?

The workshop is designed for participants using a DSLR or mirrorless camera. The course teaches you to move out of auto mode and take full manual control of your camera settings, so any DSLR or mirrorless body with manual controls is sufficient. Specific lens recommendations and camera setup guidance are covered in the course. No particular camera brand or model is required.

What does the Capturing Space and Time photography workshop cover over 4 days?

The workshop covers four core areas across its four days. First, camera and lens fundamentals including how DSLR and mirrorless systems work. Second, exposure control covering the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to achieve correct exposure without auto mode. Third, composition and shooting techniques for capturing dynamic and engaging architectural shots. Fourth, editing strategies including how to enhance well-shot images and rescue problematic ones in post-processing.

Is this architectural photography course suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. The workshop is explicitly designed to take participants from beginner to advanced level within the four-day format. Whether you are just starting with a new camera or already have photography experience and want to move into the architecture field professionally, the course adapts to your level. Walk-throughs are detailed and examples are used throughout to build practical skills progressively.

What will I be able to do after completing this architectural photography course?

After the workshop you will be able to operate your DSLR or mirrorless camera in full manual mode, achieve correct exposure across varied architectural lighting conditions, compose and capture professional-quality architectural and interior shots, and edit your images to a portfolio-ready standard. You will have trained your eye for architectural photography and developed a repeatable professional shooting and editing workflow.

From Prompting to Spatial Directorship

This was one of the most immediately useful AI visualization workshops I have taken. Pouya’s workflow made a clear distinction between simply generating attractive images and actually directing AI with architectural intent. The strongest takeaway for me was the idea of spatial directorship: controlling camera, composition, materials, lighting, atmosphere, and design fidelity through a structured workflow rather than relying on unpredictable outputs. The progression from raw 3D views and sketches to refined hero images and cinematic sequences felt practical and transferable. For my AutoTroph work, this is especially valuable because it adds a much stronger communication layer to computational research. It gives me a way to translate complex generative ideas into images and motion without losing the architectural logic behind them.

Excellent Course for Architectural Competitions

A very useful and well-structured course that clearly explains how to use AI throughout the architectural competition process, from understanding and rethinking the brief to concept development, visualization, presentation boards, and final submission. I learned practical methods that can improve creativity, workflow, storytelling, and the overall quality of competition projects.

Comprehensive introduction to Maya modeling for architectural design

The course offered a clear, structured deep dive into Autodesk Maya’s essential modeling tools and workflows. I gained a solid grasp of polygon modeling, edge flow control, and core surface techniques tailored for conceptual form-finding and complex architectural geometry.
