We are interested in purpose, and so the presence of people in the images is completely acceptable.
Most architectural photography is concerned with showing space, volume, constructional techniques, and as clear an exposition as possible of the building as a piece of construction.
Architectural photographs, well-lit and carefully framed, show an absence of human occupation.
We have been showing how buildings and other man-made spaces are used and how people interact with them. Think of this as a form of reportage photography, even when the subject is ostensibly a room, for example. Absence of people from a shot does not mean that the space is empty and unused.
Considering this as an assignment of some importance, as a professional photographer would, it makes a great deal of sense to study the effect of light on space.
However ,hard it may be to imagine dramatic changes when standing in a likely camera position on seeing the place for the first time, changes in the sun’s position and in the weather can alter the image greatly.
Dusk and artificial lighting create even greater differences.
