Digital Enhancements
Conditions are not always optimal for photography.  Some lighting may be inoperable on an interior photo.  The landscaping may not be installed, yet.  The background may compete with your product to the point of distraction.  The lift that needs to be used to lift the photographer to the proper elevation cannot be cropped out of the image.  The early morning warm sun glow is just a terribly back-lit, washed out building.
Some Examples:

A Photo-Shoot for the Designers of Decorative Columns The maintenance people had lost the keys to turn on the lights on the sides of the columns, so to properly portray the designers' products, I created new light sources, including reflections.

A Series:
The following several images are among a series that I photographed for a Environmental Cleanup company in So California.  All of the equipment was stored in their equipment storage lots & photographed as it sat. I re moved rust & added a new coat of paint, then simulated a studio background.  This is an example of what can be done to show your products (in almost any condition) to its best advantage.

I photo'd this machine on the shop floor.

Combining twilight & evening images helped define & warm-up the living spaces while maintaining some of the exterior's amenities.

Digital Enhancement On an early morning with no opportunity to photograph this building later in the day when the sun might be more helpful, I was able to simulate an early morning warm sun.  I, also enhanced the sky & cleaned up the parking lot.

North-facing buildings have limited lighting possibilities.  I took this backlit photo & created an early sunrise look.
