Architectural Photography Africa

Colin Stephenson specialises in architectural photography in Africa. Architecture photography also referred to as building photography or structure photography means photography that focuses on buildings. It can include shooting building exteriors and interiors, as well as bridges, other structures, and cityscapes.

HDR is the Architecture Photographer’s Friend. High dynamic range (HDR) images are well suited to artistic building photography. When used correctly, HDR photography can add drama and creative flair to your exterior shots. HDR photography can also help you overcome some challenges with shooting architecture.

With architecture photography, you’ll typically be relying on existing lighting at the location, and that can cause problems. For example, let’s say you are shooting the interior of a building but also want to capture some of the details you can see outside through a window. The interior lighting contrasting with conditions outside might make it difficult. But creating an HDR image allows you to make sure everything is exposed properly.

Dealing with Distortion. Lens distortion can ruin great architectural photos. It can create unnatural warping that puts things out of proportion or makes the straight lines of a building seem to curve.

Thankfully, with editing software, you can solve this problem at the click of a button. Programs like Photoshop and Lightroom include lens profiles that will compensate for distortion and let you tweak your images until they look just as they did with the naked eye.

Colin Stephenson has worked with top architects to capture award winning architecture photography. Colin Stephenson specialises in hotel & lodge interior and architectural photography.

Architectural Photographer South Africa

Colin Stephenson photography for architectural photography & interior design photography throughout Africa. Our clients include architects, engineers, interior designers, corporate businesses and estate agents and commercial clients.

I understand what a great photographic interior photo shoot requires. Great angles, straight walls, and correct lighting make a massive difference to the shot. It also helps to do different angles in the same room. Shooting strong compositions to create beautiful lines in the final interior photography.

I document buildings and interiors, utilising an artistic ‘lens’ to create a lasting impression. Architectural photography suits my working methods and temperament; with a focus on technique and spatial exploration, the aim is to produce exceptional imagery through meticulous composition, attention to detail, considered lines, textural contrasts and an acknowledgment of environment and context.

My architectural photography ultimately stands alone, providing the viewer with the experience of the building from an emotional, atmospheric or design perspective.

Colin Stephenson Interior Photography

Colin Stephenson’s Interior Photography aims to make the space look and feel natural. Good interior photography uses natural light as much as possible. But you’ll still most likely need the aid of strobes or flashes to fill in shadows.

When using any artificial light, you want to make sure to bounce or diffuse it. And to adjust the strength of the lights so that it maintains a natural look.
Bouncing the light can be a simple matter of pointing it towards a wall behind you or the ceiling. You can also diffuse the light with various types of softboxes and umbrellas.

While less is more, don’t be afraid to add some small styling touches! When working with interior designers, my role is to give a professional photographic opinion about the setup. And then to adjust decor as needed.

Consider whether the scene looks better with a specific item. Does the decorative piece add something to the vignette? Do the colour and texture work well? Does it feel cluttered or too empty? Does it feel natural? Is the decorative piece high-end and beautiful?

Get Rid of Any Clutter in interior photography for the best results. It may seem obvious, but clearing the clutter is an absolute must. We want to see that gorgeous counter-top marble. Or see how the light hits the custom alcove with only one stunning sculpture in it.

As an interior photographer, it’s part of my job to tell your client how to prepare the space for photos. Relay the value of a clean space before the photoshoot.

Colin Stephenson, a professional Interior Photography expert to guide you through the process of shooting great interiors for real estate and hotels.
