Making Photos vs Taking Photos: Adding Details to Architectural Images
Making Photos vs Taking Photos: Adding Details to Architectural Images
Going from ordinary to extraordinary means adding missing details that fill in large empty spaces in an image. For this architectural photography project, we shot a medical procedure room used for Endoscopy at a new medical center. Because we had to shoot the space without patients or staff, we did several things.
In post production, we added stock content to bring the monitors to life rather than leaving black and blank monitors. We removed some of the cables running across the floor and off the equipment. Finally, we staged people (architecture firm staff) at various pieces of equipment. Each person was photographed individually to give us the greatest latitude in choosing just the right shot.
Subsequent shots in the same space were treated in the same manner.
It's also helpful when creating images of an architecture project to provide images with and without people. This gives marketing and business development professionals greater latitude when using photos for various purposes. In the following example, we shot this space without people first to establish the location of the specialized equipment and the transition into the next room.
In the next sequence, we added one of the architecture staff as well as a hospital tech to add the people dimension to the shot.
