We are truly blessed in the UK for historic buildings and monuments, and our array of magnificent castles are no exception. Where I live, in Wales, is home to a whopping 427 castles, so you’re never far from one to get your photographic fix.
Castles can range from huge, grand dwellings to small follies, stone towers, and almost unrecognisable overgrown ruins. However, what the smaller ones sometimes lack in architectural prowess, they make upphotographic outings. Try not to find photographing these large structures too daunting, as in this project I hope to give you a head start on your approach to capturing a piece of history and taking some top castle photos. Over the page are also four great photography techniques to capture castles in different ways.
