Hey all! I'm just getting started on an Architectural / Interiors portfolio, and I'd like a little feedback on a couple test shots I just did.
Disregard the shadows, vertical shadows will be in the final image.
Composition wise....
Imagine that the image the image with the vertical shadows was dialed in, so you would be looking perfectly straight down the wall, hiding the windows. Also imagine a tighter composition in general for this shot.
Do you prefer:
One point perspective (OPP) straight down the wall, hiding the windows?
Or...
OPP straight down the walking path, exposing windows?
I tend to think that a tight dialed composition looking straight down the wall -with vertical shadows- would be more graphically interesting. But... I also want to be careful to represent the architecture as the architect intended, and those windows are definitely a focal point of the house.
That being said... I'm trying to think about this as if it were going to be one image in a series, like you might find in a piece about the house in Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. If this were the case I would certainly showcase the windows/trellis situation in another shot.
Lastly... Human element?
Also keep in mind these are nowhere near final product. (unedited / raw file / test shots.)
Let me know if you have anything to add.
Appreciate the help!

I vote for two point perspective. I am not sure human factor adds anything here, maybe if you shoot from a different vanishing point. And place the person/s next to the front door
Thanks Ruslan. Appreciate the feedback.
I would go for more of an angle to get both, then focus on the cover structure to the right and cover walkway to the left separately as they look like they should stand on there own. I would love to see some more of the structure to the right as the lines are quite nice.
