Architectural and Interior Photography Process
I begin each shoot by using Sun Tracker software to check the sun's position and timing. This helps me determine the optimal location and the optimal time to capture the interplay of light with the building and its interior spaces. This step is crucial, regardless of weather conditions. Cloudy days can often be ideal for certain projects, as the clouds act as a natural softbox, diffusing harsh sunlight and creating even lighting.
I tether my camera to a laptop or iPad, providing a live preview of each shot. This allows for precise adjustments to the arrangement of the space, ensuring every detail is perfectly positioned.
Occasionally, I incorporate additional lighting with the use of a 600W flash, to replicate sunlight and create soft, diffused lighting with a variety of flash techniques. The strategic use of lighting can greatly enhance the mood and depth of interior spaces bringing it to life.
Once the shoot is complete, the next and important stage begins, the editing process. This generally involves more time than the shoot itself. Removing distractions, colour balancing to achieve the desired style, blending images together, and numerous other adjustments, refinements, enhancements and details.
