Brisbane Commercial Offices Photography for Gray Puksand
What a challenging shoot! … I was so far out of my comfort zone, with what you may have already noticed … the lights are all on!
I have shoot with downlights on, I’ll often put a feature lighting on, like lamps and wall scones. But I detest downlights. This shoot needed to be done, in a time I was heading away with my family on a 3 month adventure around Australia, I flu back up especially for this shoot for my clients. As it was already a working environment when we photographed it, we could only have access to the space on a weekend date.
I have previously gone over the floor plans, and I had a plan for the day using the natural sunlight that would be beaming through all the windows. We were on site before sunrise, ready to capture this space in it’s best light, only to be meet with a thick layer of cloud cover. There was no sunlight getting through those horrible grey things.
The wether hadn't been great leading up to the shoot, so I had borrowed even more lighting then I usually bring to a shoot, hopeing to rectify the no sunlight problem, but we also only had access to the space for 6 hours, and there was a lot to get through in that time.
In the end, we had to use the downlights … and I cringe at it all … if you don’t know why already, it’s the horrible shadow lines it puts everywhere, and the colour of the lights, changing the colour of all the finishes.
A very ‘not my style’ shoot, ended up coming together so well … the clients are very happy with the end results, and that is all that matters =)
“ I work for a sustainable decorative company, supplying products to architects and designers, and have purchased project images shot by Tanika a couple of times now.
One thing I have to say is that Tanika's photography work is absolutely stunning. She understands her clients' briefs and can capture beautiful spaces, without a doubt! I sure will be recommending Tanika to my co-workers. Great work, Tanika! Keep it up! “ - Celine, Forest One
