    A great client with interesting assets!

    Sacramento's best time of year to shoot Architecture is right now! Fall, Autumn, Pre-Winter, 4th Quarter- whatever you call it! (Pretty much anywhere in the US right now is good). Unlike the lofty angle in the summertime and the treeline scraping angle of the winter, the sun angle is just the right height all day long. In summer, Sacramento's sky is clear, blue, & hot. With the season's change, comes the atmospheric skies- clouds- giving shots diffused sunlight and dramatic skies. Shadows seem richer-highlights not so blown out. Day interior shots seem to take on a warm glow. The sun goes down at 5:45 pm not 9:00 pm, so the work days don't seem so long either. I try my best to convey to my clients now is the time to SHOOT their projects! But as any commercial photographer knows the project is not ready to shoot till the client says it is. If any clients are reading this, let's shoot your project now for maximum impact on marketing material!
