It was great fun for Pete working alongside stylist Caroline Eeles to achieve the result the client was after. With a combination of long exposures and image blending, Pete was thrilled with the feedback Stephen and Amanda gave from the delivered photographs.
“Have had an amazing experience with these guys. Wouldn't hesitate
TO recommend them. Very high quality workmanship done
IN A timely and professional manner!“
The combination of kitchen, dining and living room areas makes you feel completely at ease as if you were in someone’s home, and that is the idea says Stephen. It was to make people feel instantly at ease upon entering the showroom, a calming space where our clients and come a discuss and plan the future projects with them.
The showroom is full of different textures and tones including bespoke shaker cabinetry, marble worktops & tiling, oak wood flooring, chrome handles and hinges soft furnishings and built in lighting design. The kitchen offers a spacious area with large kitchen island, built in chrome fridge freezer, large floor to ceiling wine cooler and at the centre a £20,000 mixer tap! Yep that’s right, £20,000! And of course who could forget to mention the grand piano in the corner! Unfortunately this doesn’t come with your design.
Shooting on his Nikon D810 and using a combination between his 16-35mm and Nikon Nikkor PC-E 24mm F/3.5 lenses, Pete created a selection if photographs that capture the light and tone the showroom offers. With addition lighting where needed added with his two B10 Protofoto portable lights shone through soft boxes, Pete created a calming set of images that the client was thrilled with.
“Pete made the day effortless - the shoot list was long but Pete was
a pleasure to work with - a real pro. As a stylist with 20 years in the
business it’s always a delight to find a photographer
that adapts so quickly .”
