One of the advantages of photographing a commercial building on a cloudy day is that the clouds can create a soft and diffused light that can reduce the harshness and glare of the sun. This can make the building look more even and consistent, and avoid strong and dark shadows that can hide or distort some features. Clouds can also create a neutral and balanced background that can contrast and complement the color and shape of the building.
Replacing the cloudy sky with a vibrant blue one filled with fluffy white
clouds can dramatically change the mood of the image.
Digitally
repaving the driveway and recreating the lines can give the image a fresh
and well-maintained look. Finally, enhancing the landscaping can add a touch
of natural beauty to the scene.
The transformation from the
original to the final image is indeed remarkable. It’s a testament to the
power of digital editing and the skill of the editor. While it can be
time-consuming, the end result is a visually appealing image that truly
showcases the architectural and construction brilliance of the building.
The focus here is indeed on the architectural brilliance and the exceptional
work done by the architect and contractor. The enhancement of the
surroundings is merely to compensate for what Mother Nature couldn’t provide
at the time, and in no way detracts from the actual construction of the
building.
It’s important to remember that the integrity of the
building and its construction remains untouched and is represented
authentically. If the project was about landscaping, altering the natural
surroundings would indeed be inappropriate. But in this case, the
enhancements serve to highlight the building itself, which is the true star
of this project..
