Things You Can Do For Better Architectural Shots

By Charlyn Bussert


When you consider the work of a Singapore interior photographer, you can say that it can be very challenging yet rewarding as well. Also known as architectural photography, interior photography is primarily about taking photos of indoor spaces. You can expect your camera lens to be pointing towards the different rooms and features of a building and it is your job to make them look stunning.

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.

There may also be times that you will need to use flash or strobe lighting and it is ideal that you also use reflectors or umbrellas to tone down the harshness of the light. A Singapore interior photographer will usually use natural lighting as much as possible because it is easy to work with and it is not too harsh as compared to strobe lighting.

Like other areas of photography, having a good composition is one of the priorities of a Singapore interior photographer. You should be able to evaluate a room beforehand to determine the most interesting areas of it because it is likely that you won't be able to take the photo of the entire room. You should also watch out for interesting objects that can be your foreground or background.

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.

Before you take pictures of any room, it is a good idea to get rid of any clutter that can create a distasteful look on the images. Ideally, you want a room to always look as if no one is using it yet and so you should remove unnecessary objects that could be distracting on the photo. Just like when shooting models, rooms need to be prepped up before the shoot.

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.
