Architectural Photography: Removing Unwanted Elements
Making Photos vs Taking Photos. Attention to detail is one of the things that separates ordinary from extraordinary or even competent from sloppy architecture photos.

Here are several examples from an architectural photography project I shot in Reedsburg, Wisconsin recently. The above image reveals some distracting elements like a portion of a street signal in the upper left corner and worn striping and unsightly seams on the street surface. I carefully removed them in post processing.

The next image was important to shoot because it showed the entire front elevation of the project. As a Minnesota commercial photographer, I always consult with my clients to find out what they are looking for.

In this case, the foreground traffic signal was very distracting. Various seams and blemishes in the street surface were removed along with the traffic signal and its shadow.

The image below includes a distracting traffic sign that draws unnecessary attention to itself because of its placement and the fact that it is not standing straight up and down.

In addition to carefully removing the sign, I also stitched several images together to expand the field of view and create a vertical panorama.

I shoot a variety of architecture projects like this for my clients including multi-family projects, condominium projects, and residential photography.
