When it comes to architectural photography, preparation is just as important as the shoot itself. A well-prepared site can significantly enhance the quality of the photos and ensure a smooth and efficient shoot.
Here are a few things to consider before your scheduled photography session:
Exterior Cleanliness: Ensure the exterior of the building is clean and presentable. Remove any temporary structures like dumpsters or porta potties that could detract from the aesthetics of the building.
Interior Readiness: The interior of the building should be clean, tidy, and fully furnished. Any ongoing work should be completed prior to the shoot.
Site Accessibility: Ensure all areas to be photographed are accessible and safe for the photography team.
Remember, the goal of architectural photography is to showcase the best features of your building. A well-prepared site allows us to capture your building in its best light, creating images that you’ll be proud to share.
The post-production process is a crucial part of architectural photography.
The Art of Post-Production in Architectural Photography
At Chicago Commercial Photography, our work doesn’t stop at the click of the shutter. We believe that every detail matters, and that’s why we invest significant time and effort into the post-production process.
Here’s what our post-production process typically involves:
Cleaning Up: We digitally clean up driveways and other areas that might not be visually appealing. This includes removing any temporary structures or objects that could detract from the aesthetics of the building.
Enhancing Interiors: We carefully review the interior shots and digitally remove any elements that might detract from the beauty of the space, such as exit signs or sprinklers.
Improving Exteriors: We pay attention to the surroundings of the building. This might involve digitally adding grass, repaving driveways, adding new lines on streets, or even adding shrubs. Our goal is to ensure that the surroundings complement the building and don’t take away from it.
Remember, the goal of architectural photography is not just to capture a building, but to present it in its best light. Our meticulous post-production process helps us achieve this goal and deliver images that truly showcase the beauty and uniqueness of your building.
