Panoramic & Architectural Photography
Robert R Gigliotti offers quality professional photography services that cannot be found elsewhere. In conjunction with traditional one shot photography techniques using wide angle lenses, Robert masterfully modifies conventional wide angle photography to remove any distortion by seamlessly stitching multiple photos together. This delicate technique and the use of proper lenses that do not create distortion produce spatially accurate photographs.(IE: 45mm or 50mm lens).
Wide angle lenses work great with natural landscapes, particularly when the focus subject is hundreds of yards away with a nondescript foreground. But when the focus subject, foreground and background has a much smaller distance and a greater amount of detail (often found in architecture) wide angle lenses create massive amounts of distortion rendering the photo basically useless. This refined technique Robert R Gigliotti uses will not only remove distortion on objects close to the lens, but gives your clients the desired perspective of standing right there,in the room you want featured, or in the park, enjoying your design as you intended, without any distortion, bent vertical lines or “wonky” looking angels.
Many photographers follow the technique of shoot now, photoshop later. Sometimes a photographer can fix a heavily distorted photograph, but at a high cost to you. For example, the initial distortion created while shooting tall buildings where the building has receded away from the photographer. He can sit that building back straight, but the photo will lose many details and much of it’s foreground on both sides will need to be cropped out. So now what? You hired and paid the photographer for a pure vision of your architectural creation, but much of it has been lost including the accuracy that gives a great shot true “atmosphere”.
Shooting architecture, interiors, exteriors, products laid out in a room or panoramic photography, takes special equipment, even if its only in one shot. Different lenses that can shift, keeping the face of the lens parallel to the subjects vertical lines are a must for shooting foreground objects & tall buildings. As well as proper perspective correcting lenses, one needs the proper mounting & rotating equipment to keep the shutter of the lens directly over the center point of the tri-pod.
Don’t get comfortable looking at your work photographed incorrectly with bending vertical lines and “wonky” looking foreground objects. Get ready to see your hard work the way you designed it, the way it looks in real life. Don’t allow the distortion to be a major distraction for prospective clients. Your product or design will be the only thing noticed when Robert R Gigliotti photographs it properly. It takes years of experience, special lenses, tri-pods, leveling equipment and mounting equipment to shoot any panoramic or single shot without distortion. Robert R Gigliotti has the tools, the know how, the motivation and the experience to bring your vision into focus.
Below you can view two examples of photography, (((not by Robert R Gigliotti))) where the distortion is obviously distracting and the photographs are “wonky” at best.
