RKI Offices Chicago:

Two images from a project shot years ago at the RKI Offices in Chicago. Both prints were produced as 20×30 framed pieces and installed as conference room wall art for our client.

Captured with a Sony A100 DSLR and a Sony 11mm lens, these photos emphasize spatial scale and clean architectural lines while preserving the material textures and subtle ambient light of the office interiors. More images from the RKI shoot to come. To see more of our work or to schedule a photoshoot please visit our website. www.normansizemore.com

Behind the Scenes with Dominica & Gabby:

Quite a bit of work goes into a photoshoot, especially when coordinating models, stylists, and couture gowns. We collaborated with hair and makeup artist Ann to execute a styled shoot that showcases her exceptional skills. Ann arranged for several high-end wedding gowns and brought a range of looks for the models to wear, allowing us to capture multiple hair and makeup variations throughout the session.

We began on a formal canvas backdrop to establish clean, classic portraits, then moved to a black seamless to create images with stronger contrast and visual impact. Models Dominica and Gabby were a pleasure to work with — professional, patient, and expressive — which made the shoot smooth and enjoyable.

Below are behind-the-scenes prep shots and test frames used to dial in exposure and lighting. These allowed us to refine hair, makeup, pose, and wardrobe before committing to the final frames. The finished images were captured on Fuji Astia 100F color reversal slide film, which contributed to the rich, nuanced tones and the polished, timeless feel of the final photographs.

We had great fun bringing Ann’s vision to life and producing images that highlight her craft.

Shooting Dana:

We’ve had the pleasure of shooting headshots, lifestyle, and editorial images for some of our favorite designers, builders, and architects over the years. This week we’re starting a short feature series with Dana Maynard-Tatge.

We first met Dana during her time at Key Interiors and have photographed dozens of her superb projects since — Her work consistently balances thoughtful material selection, refined detailing, and a clear sense of proportion that photographs beautifully.

Dana is now Senior Interior Designer at DLA Architects, where she continues to push thoughtful, timeless design forward. Looking forward to sharing more of her recent projects and the people behind them in the coming posts. More to come.

Commercial Office Lunch Room:

We loved the spacious, colorful, and clean functional design of this large office lunchroom. Comfortable tables and chairs, along with stool-and-counter areas, make taking a break, holding an informal meeting, or enjoying a coffee a genuinely pleasant experience. Below are some favorites from the shoot.

Office Hall Ways:

We photographed a massive project for Key Interiors — a multistory office complex with multiple conference rooms, expansive lunch and break areas, and the factory floor. Walking the space with interior designer Debby Hill, I kept pausing in the hallways. She smiled and explained she spent a lot of time ensuring the creative theme carried through every corridor and transitional space. “You spend a lot of time in hallways,” she said, “they should be beautiful too.”

Her attention to those connective moments shows. The hallways here aren’t just routes between rooms; they’re curated experiences that prepare and extend the design narrative. Thoughtful lighting, material transitions, scale, and art placement all work together to make passing through feel intentional rather than incidental. That continuity elevated the imagery across the entire shoot — the same design language we captured in boardrooms and workspaces reads unmistakably in the corridors, tying the whole project together.

Commercial Powder Room:

 Just a few quick shots from a recent commercial assignment — the designer asked us to photograph the powder room, an often-overlooked corner that serves as the finishing touch to the project. Here, the same thoughtful design language carries through: materials, lighting, and fittings are carefully chosen to feel polished and intentional.

A well-executed powder room does more than provide a functional amenity. It signals to visitors that attention to detail matters in every part of the workplace. When the restroom is finished in a welcoming, professional manner, it reinforces the overall aesthetic standards and communicates care for the occupant experience.

These images highlight how small spaces can deliver big impact: tactile surfaces, subtle task lighting, and restrained accessories come together to create a cohesive, elevated moment within the commercial environment.
