I have quite a lot of experience of architectural photography, having completed a year-long contract for Warwick Castle a few years ago to capture the castle in all the seasons, and in different light, weather and times of day. These days, I mostly I photograph modern new-build commercial properties when I am asked to photograph architecture, but here are a few shots of some modern houses I commissioned to take for a housing association in the Midlands.
N.B. This blog covers just the PR, commercial, corporate editorial, architectural and aerial photography and videography side of my business. Please see my Reportage Wedding Photography Blog for up-to-date news about the wedding and portrait side of my business.
I've just been booked for a PR job by a man who runs a public relations company and like me, he used to work for newspapers. He said that he spends his days dissuading his clients from taking their own photos as most of them own digital cameras and think that's all there is to it. The photos they take may be technically correct (ie.e in focus and correctly exposed), but the lighting and composition are usually terrible the photos are usually shot with very little imagination. He tells them that they could hang a stethoscope around their neck, but they wouldn't call them-self a doctor! I couldn't agree more.
