Elegant Entry:

Michelle’s attention to art never goes unnoticed in her work. Fine art paintings, sculptures, rugs, and wall finishes all come together to create rooms that are statements of exquisite taste and refinement. This small entry is beautiful—a carefully curated composition where every element enhances the space’s elegance. The thoughtful placement of artwork and texture invites the eye to linger, transforming a modest entryway into a sophisticated introduction to the home.

The Theatre Room by Michelle:

A recent photoshoot with Michelles Interiors captured the stunning theater room of a sprawling late-century ranch. The space exudes a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication, featuring fine furnishings, carefully curated art, and bespoke tables. Drapes and custom wall coverings not only add elegance but also enhance sound quality, creating an immersive cinematic experience.

Michelle’s artistic touches are evident throughout the room, weaving together textures and colors to craft a welcoming environment perfect for relaxing, entertaining friends, and enjoying a good movie. These carefully composed images highlight the seamless integration of design elements that balance functionality with luxury, showcasing some of our favorite moments from the shoot.

Shooting Lissa:

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of doing a quick photo branding session with high-end Chicago realtor Lissa Weinstein. Meeting Lissa on site at several stunning properties, we enjoyed telling stories and working diligently to capture exceptional images. Both Mary and I immediately knew Lissa would be a fantastic collaborator, and the experience was truly enjoyable. Here is a teaser shot from the session—more images to come.

Shooting Public Storage:

Often times, as Architectural Photographers, we will get an assignment to photograph the ordinary. Still, we want the compositions to be clean and interesting for the client.  Such is the case with this Chicagoland Public Storage, which was photographed for the builder.  Below are some favorites.

The Ones We Didn't Use:

Here are a few from a favorite shoot of ours from a few years back.  These are shots that we actually didn’t use, but are too good to not to share.  For those interested, they were shot with a Sony A850, using a 20mm Rokkor lens, with lens correction software.  To see more of our work, please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com

Contemporary Master Suite:

In a flashback mood today, we are spotlighting a contemporary master suite by Benvenuti and Stein.  This space was so unique for a master suite, curved walls, back lit stone, it’s has a very gallery appeal to it.  Too hard to pick my favorites.  Here is the shoot.

Shot on Film - Chris:

We came across some old film scans a while back and thought we would share these in our ‘Shot on Film’ series.  This is Chris, in our studio back in 2002.  We did several sets with Chris.  She was wonderful to work with.  Chris actually worked in a photo studio, and had definite ideas about the various looks she was going for.  Here are actually three tests shots, that are among my favorites.  Studio lighting was by Photogenic Machine Studio Master Its, shot through a Larson soft box and into a 48” reflector.  

The color film was Fuji G, and the black and white was Kodak T-Max.  All the shots were done using a Minolta X570 with a Rokkor 50mm 1.7 lens.  This film was scanned using a Minolta DiMage 5400 dedicated film scanner.
