The peacefulness in photographing an apartment community in Albuquerque
I actually find photographing an apartment community one of the most relaxing types of photography I do. Why is that? Because most of the time I am given access to a space, then left alone to make the photos I need. Such was the case when I photographed Stride West in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The leasing office area and lobby was largely empty when I was there, the gym totally empty, same for the pool, and of course the model unit was just me and the furniture. In this way I made my way around the apartment community grounds (with a lift from the staff on a golf cart) getting the 75 photos I needed to per client guidelines. I did start out getting aerial drone photos because the skies were pretty good, and it is my policy to get all exterior shots when I arrive because you never know when the weather will change. Sure enough, by the end of the shoot things would have been too cloudy. Thank you to the team at Stride West for getting everything prepped for the photo shoot.
Working outside in for professional apartment photography in Albuquerque
Professional commercial real estate photography for apartment complexes in Albuquerque involves both indoor and outdoor shooting. As I made my way around Rock Creek Apartments, it is my preference to get the outdoor photos done first, as you never know when the weather can change. Once done with the exterior photos, I move on to the interiors based on what spaces are open at present and likely to get busy sooner rather than later. Plus, the leasing office slash community space had by far the most visual appeal for photographs, so this is where I spent most of my time. Ironically, photographing the interior of the empty apartment units was actually the least time consuming portion of the shoot! Thank you to the team at Rock Creek Apartments for escorting me around!
