Behind the scenes: shooting of the House in Dahiya, Kuwait

It was my first time in the Middle East and the trip was intense to say the least. New culture, new flavours, and of course a different way of looking at architecture. I want to thank the amazing team of Studio Toggle for their unbreakable dedication to deliver this stunning project and for organising this assignment in the best way possible.

📌 Save for later: Checklist for planning your next architectural photoshoot

1. Get a brief from the client
Ask your client to describe the objective of this shooting. What do they want to achieve? What project facets are the most important to highlight? The more information the better.

2. Establish on-site contact
If the client will not be present on the shoot, make sure to have a direct contact of the person on site. It can be the owner, manager, security guard, etc. This person is essential for granting access to different areas and any other assistance you might need on the day.

3. Double-check the readiness of the project
This comes from personal experience. Always double-check with the client if the project is 100% finished and professionally cleaned. Many times our clients rely on the word of the builders or the property owners. And often it results in the wiring still hanging around, dusty flooring, etc. If the client doesn’t check the site the day before the shooting you are risking losing the entire day and rescheduling the shoot.

4. Exterior arrangements (if necessary)
In some cases the main façade of the project can be obstructed with parked vehicles. Use Google Street View to check if this might be the case. Sometimes it makes sense to ask the client to reserve this area with either their own cars (to be removed at the time of shooting) or the orange traffic cones if available.

5. Analyse the sun trajectory
Use the sun tracking apps (ex. Sun Position, Lumos) to analyse the solar path throughout the day on the project’s location. This will help you draft the approximate shooting schedule and establish the starting and finishing time based on the natural light.

6. The weather forecast
I always aim to check the weather conditions for the agreed date 2-3 days before the shooting, when the forecast becomes more reliable. If the conditions are entirely unfavourable, I reach out to my client to suggest a different date.

📌 Save this: 5 essential things you should ask your client before giving a quotation for architectural or interior photography.

1. Drawings or renders: Architectural renders will help you understand the design intent of the project. These images will tell you how the project was enviosioned by the designer and will give you a hint for the most essential angles of this project.

2. Photos from site: These photos will tell you how the project actually looks like in real life as opposed to renders and what challenges you might expect on location, including type of surroundings, lighting conditions, etc.

3. Location: Probably the most essential piece of information you can have. It will help you analyse the sun orientation, surrounding area, possible vantage points for the best view of the building. And last but not least the distance from your office to calculate the transportation costs.

4. Usage scope: Where does your client intend to use the images? Publications in architectural media? Running an ad in a specific magazine? This information should be included in your quotation. The more complex the usage is - the higher the price.

5. Suggest add-ons: Do they need drone images? Maybe they want to tell the project story with a video?
Take this opportunity to offer extras to your client, They will appreciate the initiative and you will have a chance to increase your quote.

Her drawings display a strong relationship with the architecture, there is a desire to understand the spirit of each place, the city, its patterns, colour, light, the environment, the profusion of facades and roofs, windows and domes, making each drawing unique.
