Handy Interior Photography Tips To Keep In Mind

By William Pelto


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.

Since interior photography involves working in an indoor space, there are specific equipment needed to ensure that you get the results you need. Ideally, you would need a wide-angle camera lens to capture as much area as possible with the limited space you have. Choosing a good light source is also critical to ensure that you end up with a good exposure and that the colors are accurately displayed.

By shooting indoors, you will most commonly be working with natural light and this might not always allow you to shoot using high shutter speeds, so therefore having a tripod is necessary to make sure that your images will be sharp while using low shutter speeds. You can also use reflectors to illuminate areas of the room that receive less light.

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.

Using your creativity as a Singapore interior photographer is important whenever you are shooting architecture. Don't be afraid to experiment with different angles and heights to check which will work best for your purpose. You may want to shoot a particular area in both landscape and portrait mode to see which one will look more interesting. You can also try framing an area using some objects in the room.

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.

A good Singapore interior photographer should be able to come up with unique ways to capture the personality and character of a particular room. All photos are supposed to tell a story and interiors are no different. You can always look for interesting patterns or details that will help bring out the true beauty of it.
