Which is why it's frustrating to hear clients tell me that they want to just get a disk with all of the photos unedited and be done with it. A majority of my work takes places after I've taken the photo. <br /><br />I'll try to post more examples in the future. modarchitecturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711746904767811161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080707801093902035.post-62960718164671492822013-07-31T11:40:44.143-07:002013-07-31T11:40:44.143-07:00Cheers, Brian!Cheers, Brian!modarchitecturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711746904767811161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080707801093902035.post-20429669651974858482013-07-31T05:12:20.001-07:002013-07-31T05:12:20.001-07:00Thank you for sharing before and after versions of...Thank you for sharing before and after versions of your Carlsbad Church photo. <br /><br />Since i am not a professional photographer i always wonder how much a photographer edits his photos. <br />So i matched the two photos with photoshop and tried to understand. <br /><br />I am quite relived to see that you spend hours on editing to achieve the best photo in your mind.<br />I believe that editing photos to achieve the desired quality is also an artistic skill and it is valuable.<br /><br />It would be nice to see more of your before and after photos!<br /><br />BurcinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831097048727342486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080707801093902035.post-56848442307496205822013-07-30T22:44:49.476-07:002013-07-30T22:44:49.476-07:00Excellent primer, Darren.

That can be brilliant, but can also be distracting at times, depending on the circumstance. Magazines appreciate the editorial aspect that it provides, and it's easier to relate to the photograph. <br /><br />However, the focus on the people can also come at the expense of the real subject (i.e. the building). <br /><br />Some architectural photographers (like Baan) pride themselves in their lack of interest in, or knowledge about, architecture. But there are many times when having a deep understanding and appreciation for our subject (architecture, in this case) is essential and comes through in the work - or not. <br />modarchitecturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15711746904767811161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080707801093902035.post-24383236947959054352013-07-10T09:07:02.085-07:002013-07-10T09:07:02.085-07:00Hi , this is my first visit to your blog. Congratu...Hi , this is my first visit to your blog. Congratulations on the award, but more important congratulations on your own self improvement, its great to see the two versions of the Corbusier building. <br />I think that photographing buildings in winter is much better than any other time of the year. You have no less trees to deal with and the clean air also helps with the image capture, and in really bad weather if your are brave to be outside you can use it to your advantage to create mood. <br />I like to make the distinction between Architectural Photography and Photographs of buildings or Photographs of architecture. As you specify at one point, Architectural Photography should really be called Commercial Architectural Photography and this appears to have purpose to represent the building correctly, but in reality I don't think this is true since all photographs are somehow a lie, or using a less strong word, an interpretation. Without going to the extreme of making an abstract shot a photographer will influence the appearance of the space by choosing the vantage point and lens. That is what makes the photo "interesting" as your own Swiss Pavilion comparison demonstrates. <br />I would also like to point out that architectural vistas which exist before photography was invented are meant to show only the building and nothing else and this tradition continues to our day. Architectural photographers are not photojournalist and do not have the same ethical responsibilities. This reminds me of Le Corbusier's images of the villa Garches interiors which received a lot of editing and the photos published by Mies van der Rohe of the Barcelona Pavilion had most of the context surrounding the building obliterated. <br />Personally I like context as long as it does not distract the viewer and I am also interested in the inclusion of people in photos of buildings but this is very hard. Iwan Baan does it extremely well in my opinion is no surprise that he comes from a background of photo reportage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080707801093902035.post-39265256542212977172013-07-09T07:41:30.878-07:002013-07-09T07:41:30.878-07:00Thank you, Lucas, and best of luck to you!
