Architectural photography can be broadly defined to encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious. institutional, and engineering structures of all types. It involves the portrayal of the subjects in proper perspective and without photographic distortion.
Unlike a landscape or cityscape which is generally depicted a significant distance away, Architecture more likely includes and emphasizes, but is not be strictly limited to, a single or small number of structures in the image where clearly the structure is the main subject of interest.
