Architecture is the idea, planning, design and construction of buildings for various purposes and functions. It intertwines art, science and technology. Although architecture is an art in itself, it could not reach its full potential without another art, and that is photography. Photography complements the architecture by giving it one more dimension. More precisely, it gives it the opportunity to be seen and recognized as a great architectural achievement around the world. Architecture photography is one of the most attractive types of photography. The reason for this is that through photography we can, for example, evoke the charm and "size" of famous world buildings. Although architecture photography is thought to be just a simple photograph of buildings, there is much more to it than that. A photograph of architecture, in addition to the design and accurate depiction of buildings, also implies that the photograph is pleasing to the eye of the beholder. Photographers must have additional skills and techniques for capturing the beauty of buildings, from using the right perspective, through composing the environment, to knowing where and when to take the right photo. Architecture photography is actually more about design than the buildings themselves. As for the design, the photographer can highlight some details that make the building look aesthetically pleasing. It is not uncommon to see architectural photographs of only parts of the entire building. Perhaps instead of the whole look of the building, a wall, an arched passage or some pillars can be shown. The main goal of this paper is to use authorial photographs to explain why architecture is considered an art and not just ordinary buildings. The paper also presents a small part of the history of architecture to point out the progress from the past to the present. Emphasis is placed on the technical approach to photography through the main settings of the camera and the composition and perspective to make the end result as good and successful as possible.
