Architecture photography holds plenty of room for artistic expression. The craft blends artistry and precision in a dance of light, shadow, symmetry and structure. It offers visual storytellers the opportunity to interpret human ingenuity in building form, capturing it from various perspectives and angles, each of which show a different side to the narrative. We're featuring a group of creators who are transforming static structures into dynamic photographic art. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a beginner seeking new avenues for exploration, follow these photographers for a jumpstart on your architecture photography journey. Tag your shots with #SonyAlpha for your chance to be featured.

Gregg Jaden – @greggjaden_
Photographer and Sony Brand Ambassador Gregg Jaden snagged this incredible shot in Bangkok, Thailand from the rooftop of a building nearby. He says he used the Sony Alpha 7R III and Sony 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 G Master combination because it allowed him to capture the best design feature of the structure. “What makes this moment so unique is capturing the right angle I wanted for the unconventional design of the glass curtain-walled square tower with a cuboid-surfaced helix cut into the side of the building. It is recognized as one of the tallest buildings in Thailand and stands 77 floors high.”
