In this video, editorial photographer Layne Kennedy illustrates how you can capture elements that aren’t as well-known, with techniques such as converting a shot to stark black and white or shooting a panoramic of the subject.

Layne points out that you can showcase other areas besides the obvious and illustrate that you know the city well and can find other points of beauty. Use these cityscape photography tips today and have fun shooting beautiful images.
