Working with an Architectural Photographer

Tips on preparing for a shoot with an architectural photographer:

• Think about what views you want to capture
• Is the place clean and tidy?
• For an exterior, tell the photographer which side of the building is most important to get in good light, so she/he can decide the best time of day to shoot it
• Are all the lightbulbs working and can they be turned on?
• Are there broken blinds? (There is nothing uglier than broken blinds!)

Thinking ahead about these details can make the results much better, and avoid last-minute surprises or retouching to be done.
