Exterior architectural photography

                    Guy Tessier has been a photographerin the greater Montreal area for several years. Over time, he has developed a very specialized expertise in exterior architectural photography. It is an area of commercial photography that fascinates him. The meeting of architects, designers and engineers who have put all their know-how to work to create a space that is both functional and elegant, responding to the requirements of their client.

                   In architectural photography, there are two fundamental factors that need to be taken very seriously: the weather and the time of the shoot. Light is king. It is this that dictates the moments when the photos must be taken. A south-facing building will not be photographedat the same time as one facing west. The lighting varies enormously during the day, as well as with the seasons. It can be magical when the sun rises or sets. For some buildings, it will be necessary to wait until a cloudy day to take advantage of the various architectural elements. For others, the sun will be the key element. Never neglect what is called in photographers‘ jargon the “magic hour”; this moment of seesaw between day and night.

                      Finally, the editing of architectural shots is an art in itself. We regularly work in HDR (high dynamic range). The goal is to use all the information available on each source document. All forms of distortions and annoying elements are eliminated. In the end, the photos will highlight the full potential of the company that called on for our services.
