Best Practices

Commissioning Architectural Photography

Intro

The American Institute of Architects and ASMP have jointly developed these documents to describe today's best practices for architectural photography. The purpose is not to prescribe any particular actions, but rather to establish a set of shared expectations and a common vocabulary so that the professional goals of both architects and photographers can more easily be met.

The five documents in this series are available here as web pages. Individual full-color PDFs may also be downloaded from the AIA Best Practices library or from ASMP's archive and freely reprinted.
