I was recently hired to photograph the home of a new client in Sherman Oaks, CA. Their intention for the images was for marketing their home, not for real estate, but to be used in film and television productions. They have rented out their home many times over the years to various film and television productions and recently did some heavy duty remodeling. They hired me to showcase the spaciousness (ideal for production crews) and unique look of their gorgeous home.

While very similar to real estate photography, interior design and architectural photography allows you to take a little more time and care with each photograph. Shoots like this are less about working as quickly as possible and more about choosing more thoughtful compositions and preparing the lighting in a way that enhances the final image. Shoots like this also tend to have a lot more detail photographs which narrow the focus of the compositions.

I loved the look of this kitchen and dining room. Honestly, if time and budget allowed I would have spent most of the day photographing these spaces. Everywhere I looked I saw new opportunities for amazing shots.

While I originally composed this shot as a 3:2 aspect ratio I ended up cropping it to be 1:1, as I felt it was much stronger:
