We've just completed a two day photo shoot of three of our recently installed kitchens with photographer Martin Black.
We arrived at each of the houses laden down with beautiful seasonal fruit and vegetables and fresh home made bread to furnish the shots. All three customers were extremely helpful and welcoming and delighted to have their new kitchens photographed. However, there is a big difference between photographing real kitchens and artificially created sets built for the perfect shot. On top of the obvious problems, such as being able to get the right angle to fit everything in the shot (and trying to get a pomegranate to stand upright), we were also dealing with rain and blustery winds. At one point I was outside clinging on to an umbrella while kneeling on the light stand to stop it being blown away and holding up drapes to cut out unwanted light.
Here are a few of the shots we took, with more coming to our website soon. We would like to thank Kate, Emma and Joanna very much indeed for hosting us so kindly.
