Hi, I’m a somewhat beginner in this type of photography. I took this shot at a friend’s flat, wanted to show the somewhat dinning area and the balcony view. I’m looking forward to your CC and if you have any ideas of taking this shot to the next level. Thank you!
Hi Ciprian,
If you are drawn to interior and architectural photography it's great to practice as much as you can like you've done here. Shooting the same scene under different lighting conditions is a great way to learn.
What most viewers will see immediately here is the color temperature difference between the ambient light and the sunlight on the walls. In my experience this happens most often in smog or smoky conditions at sunrise. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but here it's confusing. And I have to say the soft edges of the warm light looks odd, where it goes back to neutral color?
I like the breakfast tray at an angle and the chair turned lightly toward the viewer, but the single issue for me is the table leg next to that chair. It keeps the viewer from entering the frame and sitting at the table. You want them to imagine eating breakfast in the morning light.
Here is an image of mine from a shoot where there was hot sun coming in the windows and two chairs similar to yours. The whole objective here was to invite the viewer into the space and imagine having a conversation with someone. Always ask yourself… "what do I want the viewer to do here?"
Keep shooting!
Thank you very much for this message! I will read it again and again until I will repair my mistakes!
I can guarantee you these are not mistakes. The new things you learn from taking a photo will support every photograph you take after that.
Very wise from you!
