Cityscapes, as you might imagine, concentrate on photographing elements of the cities around the world. From iconic skylines to interesting individual streets, there’s always something of interest to photograph. And, of course, you could try many of these techniques in smaller towns. Cityscape photography can also showcase everyday life in a city, particularly in public areas. You’re essentially capturing the landscape of a city – whether you choose to include people in that is up to your interpretation.

In this masterclass I’ll tell you everything you need to know about cityscape photography and how to get the best results.

A camera with interchangeable lenses gives you plenty of options. I’d recommend a lighter weight camera that you’re happy to carry around all day.
