| Huntley Lodge |
It was in October of last year that I redefined myself as an iPhoneographer. However that didn't change the fact that I will still shoot any opportunity that presents itself. So when I was asked to shoot the interior of a vacation lodge with my iPhone I happily accepted the job.
Actually, I had more confidence shooting with my iPhone because I knew I would not only do a great job but I also knew I would be providing my client with a different look then most photographers. For those of you who follow my blog you know that I am a BIG fan of the Autostitch app. I love how I can create an image that you feel you are actually walking into. Yes Autostitch can and does distort the image but I believe that is part of the appeal.
Case in point is this kitchen interior. While capturing this image I stood fairly close to the counter top on the left and then panned the scene capturing 5 images. Since I am familiar with how Autostitch works, I knew that the counter top to the right would bow in the final result. I also knew that I could use just 4 of the images to stitch with if I didn't like the result. I found that the result of the 5 image stitch provokes thought and surrounded the viewer a bit more than your typical technically correct image. This I find very appealing as did my client. As always it is a matter of choice and in the eye of the beholder. I am curious to hear how others feel about shooting interior architecture knowing that the result is going to most likely have the iPhone Autostitch signature.

Love the image Teri (a lot!) and for an art site it might be great, but if I were looking to buy a house based on the cool curves and unique angles, I might irk me to realize this was not a true picture of what I saw on a real estate site. Of course this is just the past Realtor in me :) I want a true representation if I am investing in the property, and that does not matter so much if it is more about the art. Just a thought. I guess it depends on who the client right?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Scooter. It was just what I was hoping for. I totally agree with your thought. I would not want to have this image representing me as a Realtor or my house if I was selling it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool shot, Teri. I appreciate reading how you have set it up and why you stood where you did. I also like list of apps too!
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that the counter on the right hand side is anchored by the plant and takes you into the kitchen. Great shot!
