A job well done

I just delivered a completed project to Marie Chan of Interspace Design, she is also the President Elect of the Peninsula Chapter of the California ASID.

Here is one of the images from that project. You can view the others in my Gallery.

Interior Design Photography: Breakfast counter through kitchen to diningroom.

We shot this residence in Saratoga, CA – a town on the south-west end of the San Francisco Bay – a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun working with Marie. She has worked with some very good architectural photographers in the past and understands the need to be careful and work hard at getting things set up just right. She always brings fresh flowers and a good selection of vases. She really is quite good at floral design and her minimalist discipline really worked well to contribute to the final images without taking over the shots.

The home was bright and airy and the interior design had a clean, fun feeling to it. I shot it using the High Dynamic Range Imaging technique to capture the natural softness of the light to enhance the contemporary design.

The homeowners were absolutely wonderful about letting us come into their home and make the changes we needed to create these wonderful images. They had a remarkable collection of glass figurines. I was almost afraid to touch any of them but we did what needed to be done to get the job done… we just did it very carefully.

Marie and I had to go through a few rounds of proofing because both she and I wanted to make sure the colors were just right. I’m always happy to work with my clients to ensure their work is being represented the way they want. It took us about a week and five different sets of digital proofs, but I am very proud to say that the color is perfect – according to Marie. I am very proud to hear a client say such a nice thing about my work.
