Gold Coast Interior Design Photography for PLK Design

When assessing the rooms you need to photograph, it’s important to take note of the lighting conditions. One side of the house may have a warm tone, while the other side may appear colder with a blue tinge. It’s best to avoid capturing the rooms with cool, blue lighting as much as possible. Instead, wait for the natural sunlight to move throughout the day, transforming the ‘blue rooms’ into warm, inviting spaces.
Understanding and adjusting colour temperature can greatly influence the mood and ambiance of your photographs.

Take a peek into a shoot recently completed for @plkdesign, it was an absolute pleasure working with Peter for the day, to capture his latest project.

Let’s talk lighting for photography.

When assessing the rooms you need to photograph, it’s important to take note of the lighting conditions. One side of the house may have a warm tone, while the other side may appear colder with a blue tinge. It’s best to avoid capturing the rooms with cool, blue lighting as much as possible. Instead, wait for the natural sunlight to move throughout the day, transforming the ‘blue rooms’ into warm, inviting spaces.
Understanding and adjusting colour temperature can greatly influence the mood and ambiance of your photographs.

By timing your shots to capture the rooms when they are bathed in warm natural light, you can enhance the overall ambiance and colour temperature of the space. This attention to lighting can greatly contribute to the visual appeal and mood of your photographs.

Before a shoot, I will ask the client for a floor plan and the address of the property, I will then use an app called Sun Surveyor to predict the natural sunlight for each room of the house. I’ll write out a plan of attack for the day, down to each hour/room. Sometimes the plan will change, but this gives us a good base going into the day, to know if we are on time, or running late, to work with all the best lighting for the day.

What would you love to know about interior photography? I’m an open book, and curious what questions you have?

Product Photography for Cosmetic Bags by Pip & Haze

It’s all smokes and mirrors baby … don’t have a photogenic bathroom? No worries, I created these different looks around my own home, as much as I try to keep my styling chaos for a shoot in my actual studio, it always spills into other rooms of my home … depending on where the natural light is hitting and what texture from my exisiting furniture I am wanting to use.

These beautiful cosmetic bags are by Pip and Haze, we loved getting to have a little fun and be creative for this colourful brand.

For the shoot, I made up all the little ‘bathroom vignettes’ all over the house … I could of used photography lighting, but knowing what time each practical spot was going to get beautiful natural sunlight, and just left it set up, and shot each spot in the natural sunlight when it hit.

STYLING TIP:

Incorporate a mix of textures and colours to add depth and visual appeal. Combine different materials like fabrics, wood, metal, or glass to create an interesting and layered composition. Pay attention to the colour palette of the space and choose accessories that complement it.

Gold Coast Skin Clinic Branding Photography for Skin Forum

Such a pleasure to capture this oh so very calm space. Skin Forum’s second Gold Coast location in Chirn Park.

A location and branding shoot, to use across their website, google page and social media. (and I have loved seeing how they have used their professional photography in their marketing, really making the most of it).

The brief was: MOODY …. The team wasn’t able to meet me at the location too early for the shoot, but using my various photography lighting tricks and techniques, I was able to bounce natural sunlight into the skin clinics entry foyer, and use only the feature lighting (no the downlights) to create the feel the client was after.
