What To Expect From Urban Photography Melbourne
Urban photography Melbourne is unique from other forms of photography as it strives to reveal the beauty of the urban landscape, or of a particular building or property located in the city. Taking shots of tall skyscrapers or small two-story office buildings may not sound all too thrilling, but with just a few little tricks a photographer can make any building in a concrete jungle beautiful and intriguing. Here are just some of the ways in which urban photography Melbourne can be used to help you promote, rent or sell a property:
A Variety Of Lenses
A quality urban photographer knows that he or she will need to bring along, at minimum, two lenses: a wide angle lens (to show the “big picture” and add depth to the shot) and a zoom lens (to capture unique details and elements of a building). When used together, these lenses can inject some real character into the property, which adds dimension and increases interest.
Seeking Out Contrasts
To really draw interest to a piece of property, urban photography Melbourne works best when photographers use their cameras to capture contrasts. This may be looking for:
• A blend of interesting building materials (i.e. tile and concrete)
• Interesting architectural styles
• Stark differences in colour
The best photographers out there will also use things like natural lighting and different elevation levels to add some additional dimensions and contrast to the shots being taken.
Seeking Out Themes
Photos tell a story. Yes, even urban shots of a concrete building will help tell a story about that building. A photographer’s job is to help create that story with the images that they take, and to look for a common theme that will help tie all of the images and their elements together.
People Used Sparingly
The whole point of urban photography in Melbourne is to take shots of buildings and properties; not of people. That being said, people can be indirectly included in a shot. Taking a shot that includes a high powered business woman strutting in front of the property, for example, will immediately give people an idea of the sort of individuals in the area.
Urban photography can be a bit trickier to master than standard real estate shots, making it all the more important that you choose an experienced urban photographer to take the shots. At We Shoot Buildings, we offer a number of packages for real estate agents and property management teams to make sure that they get the perfect shots for their portfolio.
