How are prices in architectural photography determined?

1. Preparation and Planning:

• Consultation with the client to understand exact requirements and expectations.

• Research and possibly a site visit to identify the best locations and angles.

• Scheduling the photoshoot and coordinating with other involved parties if necessary.

  
  

2. Photoshoot:

• Traveling to the location and setting up camera equipment.

• Capturing images while considering lighting, composition, and specific client requests.

• Additional lighting, such as flash units or reflectors, may be needed. It is often beneficial to photograph the object at different times of the day.

  
  

3. Post-Processing:

• Transferring captured images to a computer and selecting the best shots.

• Editing selected images to adjust color and exposure and remove any imperfections.

• Enhancing contrast, sharpness, and perspective to achieve the desired aesthetic effect.

  
  

4. Delivery:

• Providing the edited images to the client in a suitable format, such as high-resolution JPEG files.

• Delivery may include an online gallery or a personal presentation of the images.

  
  

Pricing Factors:

The cost of architectural photography can vary depending on several factors, such as:

• Size and complexity of the object: Large and complex buildings may require more time and effort.

• Number of requested perspectives: More angles and locations increase the workload.

• Additional requirements: Special post-processing requests or specific technical requirements may affect the effort needed.

• Usage rights: Prices can also depend on the intended use, whether for commercial purposes or competitions.

  
  

To create a custom and transparent quote, it’s essential to discuss the exact requirements and budget with the client in advance. Every project is unique and requires tailored pricing.
