My philosophy to photographing interiors and buildings - approach it from a fine art perspective. Those who took their time to curate the environment from the interior designer, architect and to the client, put lots of hard work and planning into making sure their vision came to life. Why rush the process? There is an attention to detail with the spaces that we pay attention to in this genre.
One Interior and Architectural photographer put it this way:
"Interior and architectural photography is different. The viewers of this type of photography should in awe of the product. They should have a feeling of warmth and joy and say, 'I would LOVE to have something like that!' In order to accomplish this, an IAP [Interior/Architectural Photographers] must pay attention to the minor details. Each stool under the bar should be perfectly spaced out. The faucet should be angled perfectly. The towels in the bathroom should be perfectly leveled. Every detail counts in interior/architectural photography to make the perfect photo. An experienced IAP will know how to change minor details so the end products feels emotional to the viewer (in a good way)!"
-Sean Carranza
In so many words, it's an emotional connection that we are capturing in photos. I try to approach my headshot, wedding and portrait work the same way. Creating and documenting emotion when appropriate and being able to bring out the essence of who an individual is through the images created. One of the reasons clients hire me is because of my ability to capture the "energy" of the moment.
