Spacious, meticulously executed, timeless interior design - the hallmark of Lenore Weiss.
Mid Century Residential Office:
Larry and Scott Berliant, master home builders, graciously invited us to capture the beauty of a classic home they meticulously remodeled late last year. The home was truly a sight to behold, showcasing exquisite details that I can't wait to share with you in the upcoming weeks.
As part of this project, we had the pleasure of exploring this mid-century office space. One of the highlights was discovering a hidden powder room cleverly tucked away within the built-in bookcases. Here are a few of my favorite snapshots from the office. Stay tuned for more glimpses into this remarkable transformation!
Shooting Small Spaces :
When it comes to architectural photography, capturing small spaces can pose unique challenges compared to larger areas. Limited space often restricts lighting choices, but that shouldn't deter you from showcasing your full skill set. It's essential to ensure that the smaller area is depicted without any compromises, giving the impression that attention to detail was paramount, and the space was not an afterthought.
Luxury Suite by JMD:
Beautiful luxurious suite by Jerry Dardick of JMD Builders. It just doesn’t get any better.
Mid-Century Kitchen Remodel:
Updating a much-loved older home can often be a challenge. That is why is it is always a wise choice to use a seasoned builder with a stellar reputation for high quality. Orren Pickell Builders exemplifies excellence in craftsmanship, design, and architecture, as showcased in this beautiful mid-century traditional home kitchen remodel. The custom cabinets, tiles, and finishes, combined with thoughtful architectural enhancements, transformed the space while preserving its original charm. Below are a few favorites from the shoot.
Great Shot:
It’s great to work with a team. When you do, you end up with views and shots that you may not have gotten otherwise. In this instance, we were on a one day shoot for Michelle’s interiors and trying to get as much photographed as possible. That is when it’s great to have a business partner who can shoot. I was walking past the dining room with my gear and grabbed this iphone shot of my business partner Mary Price setting up a shot. I was kind of thinking; ‘well I already shot the dining room.’ Mary reviewed my work in-camera and decided I missed one. I’m glad she did. Michelle loved the detail and so did I.
Tranquil Michigan Living Room:
In the comfortable living room of a Michigan home, nestled in a serene older neighborhood with expansive wooded lots, interior designer Andy Yates works his magic. Soft, calming colors and bespoke furnishings create a tranquil ambiance, complemented by carefully selected accessories that add the perfect finishing touch to the space. A true haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Bold Contemporary Condo:
Flashback Friday – The year is 2010, and interior designer Desiree Denoyer had me shoot a project in the City that she had recently completed. The bold colorful contemporary space was probably my favorite shoot of the year. Desiree, was sipping wine and staging spaces while I was setting up compositions. We worked hard and were able to complete the shoot in one evening.
I just might share one or two more from this photoshoot. I still love it.
Artistic Dining Room:
I was speaking with a fellow architectural photographer a couple of days ago, and he was mentioning how everything sometimes looks the same. I didn’t really agree with that. Shooting so many projects, you’re sure to see similarities. Then there are those projects that just stick in your mind as different, in the most wonderful way. This project by interior designer and artist Letitia Holloway is one of those.
Letitia is a very special interior designer. She has high-energy, and likes to push beyond the common and expected, sourcing or creating one-off pieces of furniture and art, to ensure that you’re not going to see this anywhere else. Below is a dining room I photographed a couple of years ago.
Corporate Office Work Spaces:
Some recent shots of a corporate office work stations and break area, by Dana Tatge of Key Interiors. I really love the clean, uncluttered look of these spaces. They are inviting, comfortable, practical and functional. Precisely what the office professional needs. Some favorites below. Precisely what the office professional needs. Some favorites below.
Shooting OVME:
We really love shooting commercial spaces. This salon was photographed for the construction company’s portfolio just before occupancy. Here, the interior designer has really created a comfortable space. The use of whites, soft blue and teal elements contrast with the dark rich wood tones and white leather furniture to convey an uplifting, positive and soothing atmosphere for their clients.
Just a few shots below from the shoot.
Beautiful Kitchen Update:
This kitchen update was done by the fabulous interior design team at Michelle’s Interiors. It’s incredible how an amazing interior designer can completely transform a home. Just a few favorites below.
Art Deco Make Over by Giovanna Brunetti:
We had the pleasure of capturing this modernized art deco residence for interior designer, Giovanna Brunetti. Giovanna stands out as a truly exceptional interior designer, known for her utilization of intimate bespoke workspaces to craft tailor-made drapes, cushions, and furniture pieces that defy mainstream availability. The meticulous attention to detail truly shines through, especially in the stunning pieces adorning the living space of this North Shore home.
Shot On Film:
This is a test shot of my business partner Mary Beth, taken back in 2001 at our Plainfield, Il. studio. The camera use was a Mamiya RB67 with a SEKOR 90mm 3.8 lens. Lighting was a set of Speedotron Browns, utilizing a 48” soft box for a main light and a 36”x12”bank light as a kicker. A tube spot was used as a hair-light. I personally love the look of film, and almost nothing looks like a 6x7 transparency on a light table.
Mitsubishi Capital:
We photographed this Mitsubishi executive conference area for Debby Hill of Key Interiors. Having shot several corporate conference facilities in 2024, this one is our hands down favorite.
Elegant, comfortable, soothing colors, functional, the spaces check all the boxes and then some. It's what one comes to expect from a fantastic interior designer and the superior design/build team of Key Interiors.
Below are my favorites from the shoot.
