Like most architectural photographers, I’m frequently faced with making a boring room look attractive and interesting. The situation is at its worst in small spaces. Recently I received an assignment from a homebuilder to photograph several of their townhome models. The townhomes were 1200 square feet or smaller with rather tiny rooms.
Before beginning the project I visited several of the model homes and shot some scouting shots using my digital slr with a speedlight and diffusion dome. After I got back to my studio and studied the scouting shots I realized that the spaces were rather boring at best. Consequently I decided to shoot the spaces using only grid spots mixed with the ambient light for a moody, contrasty and stylish look.
