Many of you are aware that I specialise in residential interior photography however, you may not know that I also cover commercial interiors too.

Introduction

Recently I have undertaken a commercial interiors shoot for a construction company tasked with re-furbishing serviced offices for Regus. The purpose of this shoot was to complete a case study and other marketing material.

Follow the brief

It is of the utmost importance to work to the clients brief when undertaking this sort of work. You need to know what is important to them and how they want the finished set of shots to look.

Of course, the brief for this shoot was particularly exacting with annotated building plans supplied. Care needed to be taken as some of the rooms had been refurbished previously.

The challenges

One challenging area was to capture the foyer as it was a large space that occupied the full height of the building.

A specialist tilt shift lens came to the fore here. I could utilise the movement available to take a number of images covering each area of the space. The images were then stitched and blended later in post-production.

Of course you need to think outside the box on occasion as you are not in complete control of the situation.

On this shoot I had to rely on the office manager to gain access to certain areas. He was of course very busy, so a degree of patience was required.

You are also reliant on the British weather while working outside. In this particular case it was pouring with rain all morning and there was a requirement to capture the front of the building as well as the HVAC on the roof.

Of course, I had some appropriate clothing, and the camera is well waterproofed. The problem is ensuring rain does not get on the lens as this can cause problems.

I would love to hear from you

If your company has a need for some commercial interiors’ photography, I would love to hear from you.
