How do we do it?


Architectural photography demands an appreciation of  the function of a particular building along with the discovery of its sculptural qualities and exploiting these to their best advantage through judgment and control of lighting, camera viewpoint and the selection of a lens of appropriate focal length.

For colour and exposure we have engineered a very modern technique that uses multiple exposures to capture the natural light for each part of the photograph and eliminates the need for expensive lighting equipment and extra assisting staff. Although the post production work is intensive and time consuming, the overall results are excellent and worth the effort.

A snippet of the post production process

1. Multiple shots are taken at different exposures from exactly the same place. When processing, we use the best light of each image to create a single image filled with natural light, colour and detail.

2. See the three images below: (A) is over exposed, showing up finer details. (B) is an even shot and (C) is the darkest, giving detail for views and especially through windows which would usually be very difficult if overlays were not taken.

 


 


3. We process these images into a single image. All the best parts are taken and incorporated into a final photograph.




After a shoot we send you an online low resolution gallery of the images. We display 1 shot of each image in the gallery. You select based on composition, obviously not on exposure, contrast or colour. We then process each of your selected images into a final set of images.

We deliver another online gallery of the final images for approval and payment. Once payment has been received, the high resolution images are made available for you to pick up or they are delivered via courier on CD.

“I can only rave about the experiences that I have had working with Visual Tours. I run a luxury holiday accommodation business called Nox Rentals. We manage and market exclusive properties all along Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard.

The majority of our marketing is done via the web and email, and as such good images are extremely important. Visual Tours superior photography & virtual tours have been of immeasurable benefit to us in filling up our upmarket tourism accommodation.

Initially I chose VT as it is owned by two friends of mine, but their obsession with quality and service has brought me back time and again, and I have not regretted my decision once. A chunk of our marketing spend is now spent on ensuring that we have the best images possible.

In all I would say that the VT experience is great, and their innovative technology and customer focus is improving it all the time.
