Shot-On-Film: Lori:

We get a surprising amount of inquiries from our ‘Shot-On-Film’ images, especially when the subjects are people.  Here are a few shots of Lori from Catfight band back in 2005.  The film used is Fuji Astia 100F color reversal slide film.  We did the shoot at Bruce Starrenburgs LightBox studio.  Thank B!, for the awesome E6 work on these.  I love all of the shots from this day, it was just so much fun!

Perspective:

When shooting a residential exterior, incorporating high-quality drone photography can be essential for builders and architects. This approach reveals perspectives and angles that traditional ground-level shots simply can’t capture, offering a unique view of the property’s scale, design, and relationship to its surroundings.

Perspective and proper elevation are crucial to a successful exterior photoshoot. Drone shots provide a dynamic vantage point that highlights architectural details, landscaping, and site context with precision. Elevation adjustments allow for both sweeping panoramas and tight, detailed compositions, ensuring the images align with the client’s vision.

Here are a few favorite shots from earlier this year that exemplify how shooting at the proper perspective enhances the exterior photoshoot.

Cozy Transitional Interior Design:

Wrapping up the day, we wanted to share a glimpse of the interior of this home we photographed earlier this year. Nestled in a serene wooded setting, the house beautifully balances natural surroundings with a refined transitional interior design. The clean lines, warm textures, and thoughtful layout create a timeless atmosphere that resonates throughout each space.

Stay tuned for more interior shots from this project coming soon.

Below are a few of our favorite daytime images capturing the inviting ambiance and detailed finishes of the home. To see more of our work, please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com





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.
