While deterioration of
image quality accompanying an
irradiation period is suppressed, deterioration of
image quality accompanying a shortage of
exposure time is suppressed to be lower. A photographing apparatus includes a first camera and a second camera having sensitivity to
infrared light, a
first light projector and a second light
projector that respectively irradiate
infrared light to photographing ranges of the first camera and the second camera, and a control device that controls the cameras and the light projectors. An
irradiation range of
infrared light based on the
first light projector partially overlaps an
irradiation range of infrared light based on the second light projector. A photographing image of the first camera is an image having a higher priority than a photographing image of the second camera. The control device controls so that a first irradiation /
exposure period in the
first light projector and the first camera and a second irradiation /
exposure period in the second light projector and the second camera do not overlap in a unit photographing period, and the first irradiation /
exposure period in the unit photographing period is changed according to a value of a
dynamic range in the photographing image of the first camera.
