Interior photography and architectural photography is an art in itself, the photographer has to have feelings for the architecture and the space created by the designers, there has to be a kind of symbiotic connection.

Sometimes things are not what they appear to be, interior shots may not be factual and Architectural photographs do not always show what is there, but what is more important is that the photograph shows how the space feels and how the nature of the area is shown.

This isn’t so much philosophy as much as strategy to ensure that you have photos to have a philosophy about.

I always straighten the vertical perspective lines to be orthogonal & while the lens typically register angled perspective lines they seldom look good in a finished shot. I bend reality using Photoshop post production to make many corrections that cannot be achieved on site.

Getting an amazing shot for a magazine, creating a great view of a house for a real estate company, my objective is always to make the building look stunning with a careful mix of composition and lighting, daylight and use of props available such as recliner chairs, tables & plants.

When working with a DSLR fixed back camera, where the back of the camera is parallel to the lens, we need to look up or point down, this creates the parallax effect, this is when vertical walls converge in or out of the frame, this effect is usually undesirable, so I correct in post-production along with all the other adjustments.

Typically a photoshoot that takes one day requires one and a half days of post production. (I include all retouch and corrections in the standard cost of the shoot, FREE)!
