Photographing architecture on film in California

ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer January 30, 2024January 24, 2024

I think I am falling in love with film photography for architecture. I was recently in California filming an online course on architectural filmmaking with my good friend Arturo and we were fortunate to spend a full week in two amazing locations. The first location was in Bel Aire… on a lot that Marilyn Monroe…

High-End Real Estate Photography and Video

ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer November 20, 2023November 19, 2023

I don’t photograph much real estate these days, but when I do it is because someone wants the home photographed like an architectural photographer. The main reason is that I charge (quite literally) 10x more than your standard real estate photography pricing. In this post, I am not going to break down the difference between…

Some of my closest friends and colleagues…

5 Things I Learned from Shooting Interiors and Architectural Photography with Film Cameras

ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer October 9, 2023October 4, 2023

About 6 years ago, I purchased an old Canon AE-1 film camera from the 1970’s. I was feeling in a bit of a creative rut, and also really wanted to understand photography better. Being someone who didn’t start doing photography professionally until 2005, I was at the very beginning of when film cameras were becoming…

My most-visited post on my website was titled “How much does architectural photography cost?” and was from several years back. While the information is still relevant, a lot has changed in my business in the last few years, including the addition of video in my offerings. In this post, I wanted to give an update…

Photographing Gathering Spaces in Residential and Commercial Architecture

ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer February 8, 2023February 8, 2023

I love photographing gathering spaces in residential and commercial architecture. These are oftentimes the most thoughtfully designed areas in a building because they are where we spend time connecting with those closest to us. It is where we host get-togethers or relax with our loved ones in our homes and, in our workplaces, where we…

Before drones, photographers were using long poles and helicopters to get higher elevations. I personally…
