How to put people in an Architectural Photo?

So the client wants the option of people in the “Architectural” photo. How does a “building” photographer accomplish this? The main idea for me is to shoot the image where the features/composition of the architecture are not disturbed/detracted by the presence of the people in the composition-people are more of an accent in my opinion and can easily turn into the subject if not placed correctly in the frame. Living things in photos naturally draw my eye to them. In my opinion the shot should be no more than 30% people and no less 70% architecture. Of course, the wider your lens the easier this is too accomplish. Good Luck! http://bit.ly/cNJzah
