Interior photography of a high-end fitted apartment. The set walks the floor plan the way a viewing walks it: an open kitchen with an island and oak boards, a living area with a brass-colored room divider, the bathroom in gray-green marble with a freestanding double basin, the dining area with a glass table and rattan chairs in front of full-height windows.
Interiors are decided by two things: straight lines, and whether daylight and artificial light in the room are the same color. The first is craft — the camera stays level, the door reveals run vertical, and whatever the wide lens bends at the edges gets corrected. A tilted vertical is noticed instantly in a room, because everybody knows how a wall stands.
The second is the actual work. In this apartment cold ceiling spots sit against warm daylight and against the golden lighting inside the room divider. Three color temperatures in one frame produce greenish walls and yellowish ceilings, and no amount of post-processing fully repairs that. So each room is decided individually: either the artificial light stays off and the room lives on the window, or it stays on because — as with the divider — it is part of the design. Both at once is not possible.
The marble bathroom is the hardest room in the flat. Gray-green veining across floor, wall and mirror means any color error spreads over the whole picture. So the exposure goes on the brightest marble surface and the black basin unit in front comes back out of the depths.
And in several frames the foreground is deliberately soft: the vase on the kitchen island, the tap, the edge of a table. An apartment photographed from the doorway reads as a listing; one you look into reads as somewhere to live.
