The camera was our choice, accepting the distortion. The camera is already behind (almost 2 meters inside wall) and this is as far as focal length/clipping would work.
Reason for that is simple, this is very small, oval shaped terrace. If you want to make it look grand, and focus on the view and general feeling, the space and how it's perceived is unimportant in comparison.
I know people in archviz are allergic to wide-angle and distortion, but they are tools to be used for architecture and are super common in photography. I just embrace it, even though it's on the edge often. And quite frankly, even if that might seem wrong or ugly to some, I like the dynamic of such perspective often :- ) At some point is simply becomes a personal choice, a willful breaking of rules, like over-exposure, another thing I love to do that constantly irritates someone.
Catalogues need few "hero" shots, not multiple 50mm charismatic shots for instagram. Even if they look better, it's not option sadly.. and I accept that, it makes sense. This shot needed to encompass the lifestyle offered by this apartment, the connection between all the space, grandness of something that's not really that grand... selling an illusion a little bit, basically...marketing. People looking to buy it, they barely notice what kind of chair that is or that bottle is distorted. The super wide-angle makes it sort of abstract.
This is not something I would do for project describing architecture. But we're not selling architecture here at all.
But don't take it my reasoning makes it right :- D There is no need to like it, just explaining my thoughts that go into this.
