Why I Enjoy Interior Architectural Photography
Interior architectural photography lets me capture the essence of purposefully designed spaces. Documenting projects like Cava Mezze offers a chance to showcase intricate details and craftsmanship. Whether it’s the reflection of light on metal or the harmony between materials, interior photography highlights the beauty and functionality designers and fabricators bring to life. It’s about telling a visual story that celebrates the art of creating spaces.
Essential Gear for Capturing the Craftsmanship
To capture the stunning metalwork at Cava Mezze, I relied on high-quality photography gear:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III: This camera is renowned for its exceptional image quality, making it ideal for architectural photography.
- EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Lens: Perfect for wide-angle shots, this lens captures the full scope of the interior space.
- EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Lens: This lens excels in low-light conditions, providing sharp and vibrant images, perfect for detailed close-ups.
“His kind directness makes working with him so easy.”
Working with Jiho is an unique experience. He is an extremely engaged photographer, and he works very hard to capture the most compelling images that a particular subject might provide. He doesn’t hold back, but he is also very particular, resulting in images with both quality and dynamism. His work ethic is impressive, and his care in treating people never falters. In addition to shooting images of work in our studio, he has taken images of completed work both after and during installation. In all circumstances, he has successfully engaged the people in the environment, making the process of shooting a difficult object in a busy place a special event rather than an imposition, and the results are visible in the quality of his work.
I would recommend Jiho for any project—his attention to the subject is just as careful when shooting a person, an inanimate object, or even a pile of tools in a messy studio. His kind directness makes working with him so easy.
