Minal Singh In our fast-paced lives, we often miss sharing the unique experiences we encounter. But here we are, ready to spill the beans on our wholesome and unforgettable experience of architectural photography Bangalore.
Multiple Purposes, Multiple Perspectives
As you might know, a single property—be it commercial, institutional, or hospitality—is photographed for various purposes for different parties: designers, architects, PMCs, and more by either one or multiple photographers. Some aim to build their portfolios, others need documentation, and some want to use the photos for global competition platforms.
Hotels and resorts, in particular, want their hospitality services reflected in every shot to attract more customers, while designers focus on showcasing their design finesse. Each photo serves a unique purpose, so a single shot can’t satisfy all needs. The angles for a designer’s work differ from those for an a commercial entity.
The Unique Charm of Kshemavana
We’ve handled many projects in interior and architectural photography Bangalore and beyond, but Kshemavana, a wellness center, stands out for several reasons. First, their holistic approach to healing people through sustainable methods impressed us. Second, the unique design of the space was a joy to capture. We aimed to convey the serenity and meditative state that the premises offer, providing a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Photography Inspiration from Senior
The property fortunately had already been photographed by the renowned Senior Photographer, Gokul Rao Kadam. We were in awe of his meticulous work and took great inspiration from it. Despite not doing a recce prior, we understood the space through his photography, for which we are immensely grateful. Mr. Kadam has been excelling in the field for over a decade, and we felt the pressure to create photographs that matched his level of excellence.
Photoshoot Planning & Execution Amidst Challenges
Upon arriving in Bangalore, we conducted a recce on the first day and devised a day-wise plan. This ensured the team kept the space ready for us, even as the institution was occupied with customers. Marketing team also required a few photos. The project was vast, and we were accompanied by the designer’s team and assisted by the marketing team. The challenge was to complete the shoot within three days. The client provided a brief on which specific areas to shoot and how they should be captured was left on us.
It was a different experience on various levels and presented a new perspective. Moreover, Architectural photography Bangalore experience offered us endless opportunities to explore the intricate details and grand visions that make each building a masterpiece.
Capturing the Essence of Architecture
We aimed to capture the interaction of architecture with the rainy season, but unfortunately, it didn’t rain. Here, Architecture is designed to handle typical weather, and we were excited to showcase this aspect. The owners of the centre, SDM Trust head has curated a stunning collection of ancient Dravidian-style, temple, and antique doors, which AKFD artfully repurposed across various campus locations.
Coming from an architectural background, we appreciated the intermingling of different styles by the designers as well. Indian mythological elements, such as Garuda, was also incorporated into the design.
Conclusion: Embracing the Challenge
The project was definitely larger in scale compared to our previous ones, but we embraced the challenge and enjoyed every moment. It was an exhausting yet exhilarating experience. We learned a lot and captured some incredible shots that reflected the unique essence of Kshemavana.
In the end, despite the challenges, we were thrilled with the results. We managed to capture the tranquility, beauty, and architectural brilliance of Kshemavana. This experience has not only added another feather to our cap but also enriched our journey as architectural photographers.
Until next time, Bangalore! We look forward to our next enriching adventure in the world of architectural photography Bangalore. Keep an eye out for more stories and behind-the-scenes glimpses of our work!
