20 Beautiful Examples of Symmetry In Architecture Photography

An image is said to be symmetrical when half of it mirrors itself either along the horizontal or vertical axis. Symmetrical compositions in architecture photography creates a sense of strength, order and security by balancing an image’s visual weight. This has a unique calming effect on the viewers’ mind. Here are some examples of symmetry from our shoots.

20 Beautiful Examples of HDR Panoramic Interior Architectural Photography

Panoramic HDR photography solves many issues, among them having the ability to capture a very wide field of view and also tackle the contrast levels present in the scene are the most important ones. This is the reason why many architectural and interior photographers often resort to this technique during their shoots. Most of our work involves at least one such image, given below are some of our works from various shoots for your inspiration.

20 Amazing Examples of HDR Architecture and Interior Photography

Dynamic range refers to the contrast levels in a scene, the difference between the brightest area and the darkest area. When you are at a location the contrast levels could be easily measured. All you need to do is set the camera to Shutter priority mode, use spot metering, first point the camera at the brightest area, (when there are light sources in your frame (lights, windows etc) point the camera towards the brightest source, half press the shutter button and take a reading, now point the camera towards the darkest area, (usually the area underneath furniture or the corners) and take a reading. The difference in f/stop is the contrast level of the scene.

While human eyes adjust dynamically to varying brightness levels and could easily have a dynamic range of 10 – 14 stops, even the most advanced digital camera present in the market only has a range of say 8 – 11 stops. Hence to capture a scene exactly as we see it, using fill light or combining multiple exposures into one are the options available. HDR is definitely the most-used method for real estate and beginner interior photographers. Here are some examples of realistic hdr architectural photography from our various shoots. To learn how to manually blend images for the realistic look refer this tutorial - Architecture Photography Tips - Combining Multiple Exposures for Interior Shots.
