Architectural photography is both an art and a science. Much depends on details and it’s easy for clients to forget to ask key questions during the process of searching for the right photographer for their job.

The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) has a lot of resources dedicated to helping you choose the right photographer no matter what your editorial or commercial need. In particular for architects, builders and real estate professionals, they have a great Architectural Photography Checklist to use when talking to a photographer or interviewing one for a possible job.

Using this guide, and having a detailed discussion with your photographer will help focus the process and can result in a better, more positive outcome for all parties concerned.
