Photographing architecture is a bit like photographing people - perspective is key. To avoid optical distortions, it's best to shoot from about halfway up the subject. For people, that’s roughly at waist level; for buildings, around half their height. This way, you don’t have to tilt the camera up or down, which is when perspective issues start to appear: walls begin to converge and proportions get distorted. If such distortions do occur, they can be corrected later in a graphic editing program. But the best approach is to avoid them altogether - and that’s where a drone comes in handy. With it, you can easily place yourself exactly where you need to be to capture architecture as it truly looks.
