2 Sure-Shot Reasons to Hire an Architectural Photographer

Everyone is a photographer these days, thanks to the ubiquity of the cellphone camera. But not everyone is an artist with a camera. It is never a great idea to trust an amateur photographer to promote your business or represent your organization to the world. In an industry where visuals are so important, it is critical to hire a quality professional photographer who can not only capture a pleasing image but has the skills to process that image to bring out all the details in the highlights and shadows, where most amateur photogs miss the boat. 

Here are two great reasons why you should hire a professional architectural photographer.

Outdoor Photography

Outdoor photos tend to have a lot of shadow area, under trees, beside buildings, etc., that tend to block up in the photo. Also, the highlights contain detail that can be easily lost even with a perfect exposure. Think white clapboard houses. Can you see the lines separating the clapboards? It’s the dynamic range between the brightest and darkest areas that are beyond the capability of the typical camera. Professional photographers have the skills to expand the dynamic range in the photo using professional software.  It’s the first step in creating a quality image. Then it’s a matter of adjusting the color to correct or enhance the image to reach the “wow” factor. Amateurs, even with the edit function of an iPhone, cannot reach that level of quality.

Interior Photography

Photographing interiors are even more difficult. Problems like capturing window views, or rooms that are lit by both daylight and incandescent light create color problems that amateur photog cannot usually overcome. Blue light from a window can turn walls blue when the camera is set for the incandescent light in the room. And conversely, if the camera is set to correctly capture the blue daylight as normal, then the walls that are lit by the incandescent ceiling or lamp light will be an undesirable shade of yellow. Pro photographers who specialize in other types of photography actually have difficulty with these problems. But it’s where architectural photographers shine. The solution is in the software, but it’s not a single-button solution, so the editor must have a skill set that includes solving the many color problems encountered in interior photography.
