Back to Black and White

When your subject is monochromatic and color would only provide a distraction, consider converting the view to a Black and White image. It is one of the great pluses in working digitally that you can photograph in full color then covert to gray scale when completing the final post production. It's the best of both worlds. I think this office view has more impact when presented in black and white.

Coordinating with Construction

Even with the best plans sometimes you have to adapt to a fluid situation. This is the new Marine Mammal Center at the New England Aquarium designed by McManus Architects, Cambridge, MA. They were faced with scheduling a photography shoot day that fell in between the contractor's final wrap up, the installation of a semi-permanent event tent that would obscure most preferred views and the grand opening of this fantastic new facility. With the cooperation of the NE Aquarium, its staff and the various contractors, many exciting views were able to be photographed. Digital post production resolved what was not possible or practical on the actual shoot day. When time permits always try to schedule your photography after the work has been done.
