Capturing Interior Architecture That Appeals to Your Senses
Interior images that appeal to the senses may evoke comfort or relaxation and cause viewers to want to spend more time in an environment. High-end spas and resorts are particularly effective at using high sensory images to attract clientele. With the ever-increasing importance of mobile devices, other industries, such as healthcare, transportation and retail, are looking to get in on appealing to the senses through imagery.
Why? Sensory images can lure the most discriminating clients because they reach them on a human level. Images stimulate the senses through light, color, and texture in graphic or abstract patterns with a precise composition. Conventional images do not appeal to the senses. They observe each sense separately.
As an architectural photographer, I cant help but be influenced strongly by my synesthesia, a sense impression relating to one sense stimulation of another sense. 'What I see, I taste and also feel orally'. My senses play a huge role in how I capture an interior spaces. I evaluate the composition of objects, the lighting, the colors, and the textures. These elements provide a range of cross-sensory relationships.
I took a cross section of my interior images and provided the senses I experienced. How would you describe these images?
