Taking Your Interior Photography To The Next Level

By Angella Mc


As a Singapore interior photographer, your job can be quite challenging but it also can have lucrative rewards as well. The terms interior and architectural photography are often used interchangeably and they both refer to the photography of a building's interior features. Equipped with a camera, your task is to capture the distinct features of a building and make them look great for your client.

Interior photography is primarily about the indoor environment and therefore most of the time you will have some limited space. In order to get around this, photographers usually employ wide-angle lens to capture as much as area as possible. Having the right kind of light source is also important as it can have a significant effect on your exposure and how the colors will be represented on print.

In taking indoor photos, you will have to work with natural lighting in the room which is often not sufficient to allow for fast shutter speed settings on your camera. With slow shutter speeds, you have to make sure that your camera is steady to ensure sharp photos, and this is where a tripod becomes important. To improve the amount of light in a room, you can also opt to use reflectors.

Some situations might also require using strobe lights to add more illumination to specific areas in the room. Using strobes may allow you to use faster shutter speeds, but you have to be careful that to soften the harsh light by using umbrellas or reflectors. Flash photography involves a little more work and a Singapore interior photographer will often opt to use natural lighting as much as possible.

Like other areas of photography, having a good composition is one of the priorities of a Singapore interior photographer. You should be able to evaluate a room beforehand to determine the most interesting areas of it because it is likely that you won't be able to take the photo of the entire room. You should also watch out for interesting objects that can be your foreground or background.

One important characteristic that any Singapore interior photographer must have is creativity. You should feel free to work with different angles and heights, shoot in portrait and landscape modes, and make use of various objects to frame the room or any of your subjects. Coming up with your own shooting style can also help in improving your craft.

When shooting portraits of people, hair and makeup arrangements are usually done to ensure that the person looks best in front of the camera, and this is also true for shooting architecture. It is important that the room also looks presentable and as if it hasn't been used yet. Therefore, removing any clutter in the room is critical, especially those that can cause some distractions on the photograph.

For a Singapore interior photographer, it is important to come up with stunning ways of displaying the personality and the character of the architecture he is shooting. Like any other photos, it should have the capacity to tell a story and communicate with the viewers. You should not overlook unique patterns and designs in a room that can capture attention.
