O
ne of the most exciting aspects of publishing a title dedicated to the
built environment is that our content is very visual. The architects
design amazing buildings and the construction firms ensure that
design becomes reality. The end product acts as the best showcase
of their work when published in print or online – if it’s photographed
well. I don’t have the budget to commission individual shoots of each project we feature
so I rely mainly on images being supplied to me. It is to everyone’s advantage that
projects looks as visually impressive as possible and we go out of our way to design
features that will take advantage of quality images supplied. Some firms understand the
value of a good image and see commissioning a shoot as an investment – others don’t.

If you do see the value in a good image it also makes sense to provide me with a
wide selection of exteriors, interiors and detailed shots. I am unfortunately not a fan
of the practice employed by many photographers of only including a limited number of
shots in their quotes, with any further images being charged separately. This practice
works out to be expensive and results in a very limited selection that restricts the scope
of features. We want to give each project the exposure it deserves, so don’t limit the

who supply a wide selection when I do commission a shoot. The better the selection

and quality of the images the better the chance your project also has of making the
cover. We are very strict about our cover policy – the best image will be selected,
regardless of whether it’s the most ‘important’ project that issue or not.

Every year our August issue also allows us to give due credit to the annual SAPOA

to attend the awards dinner and hear the winners announced. Often they are projects
