summary of data requirements

  • Context: Visuals should be strictly within an architectural context, relatable and inspirational to architects, students, professors, engineers, designers, manufacturers, and design enthusiasts.

  • Detailed shots: Highlight product or design details with shallow depth of field meaning, sharp focus on key elements of the product/project with a softly blurred background.
  • Quality: Adjust image exposure and lighting (avoid dark images unless the product itself is dark). Make sure the product is well-lit so it's easy to see clearly.
  • Colors: The colors in the photo should look natural not too dull or too bright.
