              Fine Art Photography - Charlotte

                    January 25, 2026      TBA

                          Richard Terpolilli   

~ Time 6:30am meeting at Marshall Park, 800 E. 3rd Street. Here we’ll begin the day photographing for a cityscape.

~ Next we’ll enter the heart of the Queen City and showcase her blend of classic and contemporary architecture. By

  using your creative vision you’ll be celebrating the architect’s design.

~ Through your lens you’ll express your own interpretation and emotion of what you feel, not what you see.

~ Architectural photography is about interpretation, not duplication. It’s experiencing how to transform unique angles, light and shadow, geometric lines, find unique viewpoints and details, using negative space, and isolating parts of the design creating abstract compositions.
