interior design


Michele commissioned me to take photos of a couple of interiors that she designed, so I went on a little field trip. It was a lot of fun, but also hard, too. I've never taken interior photos before and so I didn't realize how hard it would be when the rooms are really tiny. I tried to get a shot with everything in it and no matter where I stood I just couldn't. I took some photos that I thought I might be able to stitch together, but ultimately couldn't make it work because of the distortion from my wide angle lens. And if I zoomed in, there wasn't nearly enough in the photo, so that didn't work either.

I ended up having to take a ton of photos, adjust the distortion in all of the wider ones, and ended up taking several detail shots to make up for it. I figured since I couldn't get a lot of shots with the whole room in it, at least I could highlight some of the details of each design. I spent 4x as much time in photoshop than I did taking the pictures. :) But that was ok, because I learned sooooo much. And it was really fun. These are the photos from the first room...












And these are the photos from the second room... this one was a LOT harder than the first.
