Architectural photography is a very different discipline to Boston wedding photography or taking portrait images. The number of images you may get from an architectural or interior photography session may be a lot less than you might get from a wedding day, but that does not mean to say that the amount of work that has gone into produce these images is any less.
BOSTON ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHERS
A Boston architectural and interior photographer for example may not need to pose people or be at a number of different locations during the course or a day but the photos that are captured might involve a lot more set up and a lot more post processing afterwards to get them just right. For example the light set up for just one shot may take around an hour or more to get right and afterwards the processing of that image or blending images together may take another couple of hours. The results will be an image that you could not hope to achieve without having put all this time and effort into it. At a wedding you don’t have an hour to set the lighting up for one image as the bride and groom are there to spend time with friends and family.
The Boston and New England area has a great wealth of different architectural types, from modern design to some of the oldest in the USA. Making sure that you capture these buildings and spaces takes time to appreciate them and what their use and purpose is for. Speaking with architects or designers before a shoot can reveal a greater amount of detail and ideas that just turning up to a location to shoot. Things that may seem like minor details to the untrained eye might in fact have been something that had taken a little while to get just right and have a very specific purpose that should be highlighted.
The gear and equipment for interior and architectural photography as well is a little different from other fields of photography as well. Perspective control lenses are very important to maintain straight lines and reduce distortion. While perspective control can be corrected in Photoshop after the shoot getting it just right in camera is far the better option and will produce better higher resolution images that don’t need any cropping in post. It is better to see what you are actually going to get in the image at the time of shooting than realize you have to crop and important element after the shoot, to get the vertical lines in the photo correct.
