Are My Architectural Photos Any Good?

By Sanjuanita Shorrock


As a Singapore interior photographer, your job can be quite challenging but it also can have lucrative rewards as well. The terms interior and architectural photography are often used interchangeably and they both refer to the photography of a building's interior features. Equipped with a camera, your task is to capture the distinct features of a building and make them look great for your client.

When it comes to interior photography, you will usually be working with a limited space and therefore you need to make sure you are properly equipped with the right tools for the job. Most photographers use a wide-angle lens to capture a wider area. An important factor with interior photography is the quality of light that you use because it will determine the quality of your exposure.

By shooting indoors, you will most commonly be working with natural light and this might not always allow you to shoot using high shutter speeds, so therefore having a tripod is necessary to make sure that your images will be sharp while using low shutter speeds. You can also use reflectors to illuminate areas of the room that receive less light.

Some situations might also require using strobe lights to add more illumination to specific areas in the room. Using strobes may allow you to use faster shutter speeds, but you have to be careful that to soften the harsh light by using umbrellas or reflectors. Flash photography involves a little more work and a Singapore interior photographer will often opt to use natural lighting as much as possible.

A good Singapore interior photographer should also be able to come up with great compositions with the room that is getting photographed. You should determine in advance the parts of the room that can be very interesting, especially when it is not possible to capture the room as a whole. You should also look for possible foreground and background objects that can improve the look of your photos.

Having a high level of creativity is also important for any Singapore interior photographer, especially when you are coming up with a composition. You may want to try out various angles and heights to see which one would produce the best results. You can also experiment shooting both landscape and portrait orientations for different points of view.

When shooting portraits of people, hair and makeup arrangements are usually done to ensure that the person looks best in front of the camera, and this is also true for shooting architecture. It is important that the room also looks presentable and as if it hasn't been used yet. Therefore, removing any clutter in the room is critical, especially those that can cause some distractions on the photograph.

For a Singapore interior photographer, it is important to come up with stunning ways of displaying the personality and the character of the architecture he is shooting. Like any other photos, it should have the capacity to tell a story and communicate with the viewers. You should not overlook unique patterns and designs in a room that can capture attention.
