According to the size of the company, W Workspace members work together as a team. We sit next to each other on a long table. The relationship between members are really close, even not in the same professional team. Although the most members are from SoA+D, AUN, from Decoration - Silpakorn University, still closes to others. Our bosses, WISON and ASAYA, are friendly and positive. I was very pleased to work with them. In W Workspace, sometimes when the other team has a problem with graphic, ME - PARN and AUN will take deal with it; as well as when we stuck with document stuff, they will help us too. We usually work overnight and stay at the office because every team has a full-scheduled project for the whole year. Anyway, it's not most night for the photography team. On the shooting day, we have to prepare ourselves since early morning (4.30-5.30) to be ready to capture the morning light shot (real sunlight and nice weather is the key for architectural photography). For the usual day, we'll get to office around 10am and work until 7-8pm
When every team work as one, sometimes we encounter a misunderstood issue. We often get through it by compromising, forgiving and telling ourselves that we haven't prepared enough. It makes me realize and keep in mind that "Communication" is the most important key for team work task. My suggestion for the most problem is, every member should know his/her duty as well as knowing teams', and also know the schedule for the whole day/week well enough before executing the project together.
Architectural Photography Essential Architectural Photography is not Real Estate Photography Real Estate Photography use additional lighting to highlight detail and promoting for commercial. Architectural Photography has 7 keys Experience Capturing Real light / Real element
Scene Searching Composition / Proportion + Relation between element / Glass reflection (full-filled proportion)
Moment Awaiting People pass by / Plane in the sky / Balanced light / Sun light
Concept Outlining Approaching the concept with client / architect / designer about Proportion and Style of the photos
Identity Defining Seeking the identity of the space even the client didn’t ask to find ex. Modern Thai, Natural Modern
Unforseen Happening A chance that photographer encountered ex. materail reflection for specific time
Perception Illustrating Capturig the scene to provide a visual that the audience could feel that he/her is in the space
Limitation We can't capture the sound and the smell. We can only transform them to visual.
Architectural Photography Essential Shot preparation Ask for plan/site direction from the client Shooting Method : Follow Space - from Entrance to Exit(backdoor/balcony) Follow Light - from Morning to Evening
Image Manipulation Framing (Crop) For many purpose, framing can provide many vision approach ex.space look wider after cropping Preferred ratio: 1x2 - 4x5 - 2x3 - 1x1
Colortone Started with the similarity tone to eye, minding the assigned color from client Preferred color is warm tone and a little of pastel
Scale Sometimes the photographer has to put
