The key criteria when looking to engage an architectural photographer to capture your work, or compelling before and after visuals, is their ability to produce high-quality architectural images that showcase the details of a building or structure. Beyond this, it is worthwhile taking the time to research and speak to a range of photographers before settling on one, as their methods and approach will vary, and it is vital that you are on the same page.
What does an architectural photographer do?
Architectural photographers specialise in capturing images of buildings and structures. They are often employed by architects, builders and interior designers to build their portfolio for presentation to prospective clients, award submissions and for general marketing purposes.
5 questions to ask an architectural photographer
1. What is your approach to architectural photography? Every photographer works differently so understanding a professional's approach is important.
2. Do you own your own equipment? This is important as costs associated with renting equipment may be passed on to clients.
3. Is retouching included in the service? This will be valuable if the weather or lighting isn’t ideal on the day of the shoot, and for achieving optimal results from the photos taken.
4. Do you work independently or are you willing to work collaboratively? If you want to be involved in the shoot and offer some direction, it is helpful to know upfront if the photographer is open to this.
5. What resolution will the images be provided in? It is helpful to have the photos optimised for print and for the web.
Other factors to consider when choosing a photographer
As the photographer is relied upon to capture the essence of a project, it is helpful to share similar values and expectations as this will ensure creative alignment and ease of communication.
Experience is also a consideration, but don’t forget experience has to be gained through opportunity, so if the portfolio excites you and you connect on a personal and professional level, then it may be a partnership worth exploring.
