Exterior Architectural Photography Tips
How long does it take to do an architectural photo shoot, what do you need to know, and what do you need to do to get ready? Exteriors done during the day normally are shot with the sun on the front of the building, and often can be done in less than an hour. If the front of the building is in shade, it shows fewer details, and the building looks colder. Sunny days or days with light clouds are preferred, as grey, overcast days make the building look flat and dull.

Exteriors of buildings always look their best with sunlight on the face of them.

Night time exteriors are usually done shortly after sunset, the twilight time when the sky is dark blue rather than black. If the building is not well lit, the architectural photographer will need to bring additional lighting to brighten up the face of the building.

Interior Architectural Photography Tips
Interior architectural photography requires studio lighting in almost every case, which normally takes 30 minutes to an hour to set up. A small bedroom or living room can usually be lit with one or two additional lights, but I have used many more lights in large hotel lobbies, corporate work areas, conference centers, concert halls and sports venues, etc.. Large areas can take an hour to prepare for shooting.

A dark interior (wood paneling, dark carpet or paint, etc.) requires more lighting and therefore more time to set up. A light and evenly lit interior usually needs only some touch up on shadows to be ready to photograph. Interiors often look their best when the architectural photographer takes advantage of the existing light, and just bumps it up a little to make the room look natural.

A typical residential photo shoot of an apartment or home will take a half-day to do 4 rooms and one or two exteriors. A typical mid-size hotel photos will take a full day to shoot 5-8 rooms and up to 8 exteriors.

Architectural Photographer Preparation
To prepare for your architectural photo shoot, you will want to present your property at its best. For exteriors, have your landscaping freshly prepared, and move cars so they do not clutter the photo.

For interiors, a cleaning goes without saying. Fresh flowers, candles, bowls of fruit add to the appeal of your room.
