Gold Mike Kelley - I’ll Just Fix That in Post, and Other Lies I Tell Myself

How To Photograph Architecture: I’ll Just Fix That in Post, and Other Lies I Tell Myself is a downloadable e-book which contains ten chapters loaded with humor, teachable moments, technical information, behind the scenes images, and detailed breakdowns of how my images are created and how I work on location. Spanning nearly 250 pages, I share some of the most painful lessons I’ve learned over my career, how I build my images in the field, the equipment I use, how I use it, and much more.

This is not a boring technical manual that shares useless EXIF information or flash settings; but rather a look at the physical, interpersonal, mental, and of course photographic challenges I’ve faced in my career photographing architecture. Because who cares what the shutter speed is when you’re being chased out of a building by an angry security guard or you’ve just been covered in a fine mist of helicopter-induced vomit.

What’s included?

Photo-by-photo breakdowns of major commissions

Come along with me on some of the most important photoshoots of my career, spanning America to Asia, from homes to airports to high rises. I will be the first to admit that I do a good job of making it look like all fun and games on instagram, but in I’ll Just Fix That in Post, and Other Lies I Tell Myself, I lay bare the struggles and difficulties inherent in some of these productions. Things go right, and things also go wrong – so, so wildly wrong – but creating great images is job number one, and at the end of the day we have to produce something great no matter the circumstances. Leaving critical equipment 6500 miles away at home, dealing with indigestion halfway around the world, and smashed art objects are just a few of the problems faced throughout the stories told in the book.

Behind-the-scenes images, camera, and equipment information

Follow along step-by-step as we construct scenes and re-arrange furniture to style a scene from nothing, or place the perfect human figure in order to create a story and understand the scale of landmark architecture. Get up with me at 4am to photograph a home at sunrise, survive on coffee until a midnight wrap after an 18 hour day, and better understand the settings and equipment used to create my images. Learn how I harness both flash and natural light in various settings, or how I visualize a completed photograph by starting with an empty room, finishing with a publication-worthy image that sells to multiple clients.

Who was this written for?

I’ve made a very conscious effort in I’ll Just Fix That in Post to make sure that everyone from the complete beginner to seasoned pros find something to chew on. If you’re looking for boring stories of where to put the camera and what settings to use, you won’t find those here, but if you want something that can inspire you to approach your next shoot in a different way, you’re in the right place. If you’re looking to find out what goes into a four-day residential shoot or what’s involved with flying around the world, jump in.
