Architectural Photography

Photographing homes in Whistler, Squamish, Vancouver, and beyond...

Architectural photography is the art of capturing structures in a way that brings out their essence and design intent. It's not just about documenting a building, but about portraying its character, the play of light and shadow, and the perspective from which it stands tall or spreads wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines architectural photography?

Architectural photography is the art of capturing buildings, structures, and interior spaces in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and accurate to the design. It's about highlighting the beauty and detail of architectural work, from grand exteriors to intricate interiors.

How can architectural photos enhance my project or portfolio?

Quality architectural photos not only showcase your project in its best light but also tell the story of your design. They can significantly enhance your portfolio, attract potential clients, and elevate your professional presence in the industry.

What’s the best time of day for architectural photography?

The "golden hour," just after sunrise or before sunset, offers soft, diffused light that beautifully highlights structures. However, the best time can vary depending on the building’s orientation and the effect you're aiming for.

Do you photograph both exteriors and interiors?

Yes, I specialize in capturing both the exterior facade and the interior details of buildings, providing a comprehensive view of architectural projects. Each aspect requires a different approach to lighting and composition to truly showcase the design.

How do you deal with challenging weather conditions?

Architectural photography often requires flexibility. I monitor weather conditions closely and adjust shoot times accordingly. Sometimes, challenging weather can add a dramatic effect to architectural photos, turning potential drawbacks into unique features.

What equipment do you use for architectural photography?

I use professional-grade cameras, wide-angle lenses, and sometimes drones for aerial shots, along with various lighting tools to ensure the architectural features are captured with clarity and precision.

Can you incorporate people into architectural photography?

Absolutely! Including people can add scale, context, and life to architectural photos, making the space feel more relatable and vibrant. This approach can be discussed and tailored to fit the project's goals.

How do you highlight the unique features of a building?

By focusing on composition, lighting, and angles that emphasize the unique aspects of the architecture, from structural lines to material details and the interplay with its surroundings.

What’s involved in post-processing architectural photos?

Post-processing can include adjustments to lighting, color correction, perspective correction to ensure straight lines, and sometimes blending multiple exposures for the perfect shot. The goal is always to produce a natural and impactful representation of the architecture.

How long will it take to receive my architectural photos?

Turnaround times can vary depending on the project's scale and specific requirements, but typically, you can expect to receive your edited images within 2-4 weeks after the shoot.
