Whenever I am photographing, I will often shoot a composition or two of a scene and select the one I like best to show my client. So what about the ones I don’t use? Delete them you say? Ha! Never! I always thought I would find a use for them. Now I have. Welcome to “the ones that got away”, or “the ones we didn’t use!” Okay, maybe not be best idea for a blog series, but still.
Below are some from a 2015 kitchen shoot, and yes, I promise to “up” my caffeine intake soon.
I love the beauty and simplicity of this dining room. Lauren is so tasteful with her designs, and this one has such understated elegance to it. The glass table, leather chairs, custom light fixture have such a timeless nature and could anyone have selected a more perfect canvas for the space? Thank you Lauren for calling me to shoot this home. Such a highlight for us last year!
A few years back, we spent several days photographing a series of homes for Michael Bus Architects. Michael, along with his wife Sue, has crafted some of the most captivating and pleasant residences. In addition to his expertise in exterior and interior layout, Michael also offers interior design services, showcasing his versatility and talent.
Here are a few shots of a custom home designed by Michael, with a focus on the beautiful custom kitchen. The meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful design elements create an inviting and functional space, perfect for the growing family.
Stay tuned as we will feature more from Michael Buss Architects next week.
We photographed this transit office for Dana Maynard-Tatge of Key Interiors about a year ago. The project showcases the impressive diversity in the portfolio of Key Interiors, a premiere commercial design/build firm equipped to meet various office environment needs. They possess the resources and design expertise to tackle any project effectively.
For this particular office space, a local transportation company required a build-out within the same facility where they garage and maintain their vehicles. This unique situation necessitated that the office be easily accessible for drivers and staff. As a result, the design prominently featured easy-to-maintain and clean surfaces throughout. Sensible, functional spaces were created, with furnishings that prioritized durability and robustness.
The final outcome of the office design was remarkable, and the clients were thoroughly impressed. Below are a few standout images from the shoot that highlight the thoughtful design elements and the quality of the space.
Just how beautiful can a powder room be, you ask? May I direct you to Michelle Rohrer-Lauer for the answer. Notice the elegant catch-lights from the light fixtures reflecting onto the bespoke tile work. It’s artistry, meticulously considered by Michelle during her selection process. This level of attention to detail is what a seasoned professional interior designer brings to life, capturing nuances that often escape our notice.
This shot was captured by my business partner, Mary Beth, who shares a deep admiration for Michelle's work. Initially, we intended to photograph the straight-on view, but as Mary stepped into the powder room, she discovered an alternate angle that inspired three different compositions. It’s become one of my favorite images, showcasing not only the space but also the artistry behind it.
We enjoy shooting commercial spaces. This sports bar stood out with its clean design and bright, welcoming atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot to gather, watch a game, pour a cold drink, and enjoy a classic pub burger with fries.
Here are some favorites from the photoshoot.
We photographed this project for a commercial design build firm that aimed to showcase both the materials and the interior design, an essential aspect in a salon setting. The goal was to convey an atmosphere that reflects luxury, comfort, and style, appealing to clients who seek an exceptional experience.
