Photographing interiors and exteriors of houses and old buildings is one of my passions. Well okay, photographing pretty much anything is a passion for me…

Interior designers do not design house to be photographed easily, they design houses to be visually appealing. When photographing houses, interiors and exteriors you have a few different light sources to keep in mind and balance.

Photographing houses is all about great lighting. The best time to do these photos are in teh early morning and late afternoon. (I know it sounds cliche and you have heard it a million times… But that means there is truth to the statement)

You have to look at the lines and flow of the room you are taking photos of. Do you need to use a slightly higher or lower angle to make sure you get every detail, or do you need to compensate with your White Balance because the flourescent kitchen lights are casting the room in a slightly green colour?

So yes, photographing interiors and exteriors are hadr work and it takes a little bit of thought, but all good things are worth working hard for. These photos are visually very pleasing and they could easily be displayed as magazine quality interior photographs.

“The shoot was so much fun thanks to Louise and Riani who managed to get smiles from everyone including a very tetchy 10 month old and a sulky 6 year old!
We had so many beautiful photos, it was impossible to choose –we ended up getting all of them!”
