The Top 3 Things I Consider When Editing an Architectural Photo

Last week I shared the images of the rustic cabin in Grand Rapids, MN. I thought that it would be interesting to share what the editing process looks like for just one of the images. Believe it or not, this was actually a relatively simple edit.

Last week, I talked about storytelling with photos. This shoot was a perfect example how why storytelling is important. So what does storytelling have to do with photos of a fireplace? Well, how many times have you looked at a photo of a fireplace and had an emotional reaction to it like you get with a book or a movie? My guess would be never. Ok, maybe once – but probably not.

I had been driving by this location regularly and I was never quite sure what was going up. Was it a new retail location?

I am a big believer in just putting things out there and seeing where they take you. When Covid hit and things started slowing down, I started a personal project photographing many of the commercial buildings in my city. One of those buildings was Pioneer Bank.
