Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any precautionary measures that can be taken in response to Covid Protocols?
Yes, we maintain the use of masks and sanitize during the entire photoshoot. Masks may be removed by stand-in models when needed. Models are photographed individually and composited in post production to maintain social distancing. Photo reviews are done via tethering to an iPad, so there is no need to share an crowded space behind the camera.
How long does an architectural photoshoot take?
The length of a photoshoot is mainly determined by the amount of final images needed to capture the project. A typical full day photoshoot usually produces 10-15 final images. It is not uncommon for a large scale project to require more than one site visit to capture all the important features and design elements.
How soon can we schedule an architectural photoshoot?
Photoshoots are typically scheduled weeks in advance. A signed proposal and deposit are required to book a date and ensure that no other projects will be scheduled. In the time leading up to the photoshoot, it is encouraged to coordinate a site visit, share construction drawings, snapshots, renderings, etc. so we can become more familiar with the project. This allows us to put together a plan of action to best capture the key features of the space in the time available.
Are all your images edited? Is editing included in your rates?
Even in optimal conditions, editing is beneficial to the final product. In many cases there is just as much, if not more, time and effort required in post production as there was in capturing the images to get the desired results. The initial round of post production and a subsequent round of editing, after proofs are sent, are included in the standard rates.
