The Job at Hand

Private Residence Interior, Colorado © Jay Goodrich

I have been in Colorado for past week shooting a commercial  residential project. I was hired to create a major collection of images for the home owner, builder, and the architect. The images will be used for their portfolio and marketing pieces. Projects of this magnitude take a huge amount of planning and work to complete successfully. At one point, I had four assistants helping me move furniture, props, and equipment all over the house in order for us to finish the task at hand in the time allotted.

This house is a perfect blend of contemporary and mountain architecture, and the finishes are top of the line. It is very important for me to create imagery that responds to those details and provides the viewer with a glimpse of what it is like to experience a well thought out design like this one. This image is of the entry way into the residence, and it is the first thing that you experience as you walk into the house.

To achieve this image I used a mix of tungsten hot lights and an HDR blending technique in the computer before creating my final image that was adjusted for color and contrast. This image was created with a 1Ds Mark III, 24mm f3.5 tilt/shift lens, Gitzo tripod, Kirk Ballhead, and Lowel Pro-light lights. Shooting projects like this is a lot of work, but the rewards are worth much more.
