Photographing architecture on film in California
ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer January 30, 2024June 1, 2025

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…

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…

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…

Top 5 Reasons You Should Use A Drone For Your Architectural Project Photography
ByJordan Powers - Architectural Photographer January 16, 2023January 9, 2023

It’s hard to imagine that drones have really only been a photography tool over the last decade or so and, in my opinion, they really didn’t produce the quality of images needed for architectural photography until the last few years. Before drones, photographers were using long poles and helicopters to get higher elevations. I personally…
