Interiors

There has been some discussion regarding the use of tripods-
and whether they are actually necessary-These pictures were all taken on a tripod,
on a variety of different cameras,
including 5×4, DSLR, and digital compact.
The selection is pretty random-Using a tripod allows composition to be checked,
and mistakes to be rectified,
using the review button or polaroids.Choosing the perspective point, or camera position,
is usually the first decision I make when photographing an interior.
I tend to treat the picture like a drawing,
and move elements around within the geometry of the frame,
and make adjustments to lighting,
until I’m satisfied with the arrangement.The physical size of the camera is not a determining factor;
I will mount a camera on a tripod regardless of its size.
The important thing is control of the image,
and of the elements within it.If it is important to get a useable image, a tripod will always be used
Any c&c welcome, as usual- though there are probably too many-

5. Cafe, PortlaoiseI love all of these images. In fact I’d love to do a whole lot more of this type of work myself, even if not commercially. I have to admit I’m a fan of Gerry O’Leary’s work as well (sadly his website is now “flashed” as well, like so many other photographers’ sites :( ). I guess I should try and get my act together and try and make a few relevant local contacts that would permit me in to some properties to try my hand at this.
Thanks for posting these. I’ve enjoyed them even if nobody else does!
Hey Thorsten, don’t claim all of the enjoyment cake for yourself! I want a slice!
Nice stuff jb. Particulary like number 5!
Hmmmm…. very nice work… very nicely composed and exposed… I agree completely with what you are saying bout tripods too…! Essential for this type of work…!

These are superb Joseph. I love the clean crisp lines and
the lighting. Having attempted myself to photograph a couple
of different interiors, I realise too how difficult composition and
perspective can be. Very nice work. You should post more
of your stuff.Rob.
Noce JB .
Very stylish interiors…. classy presentation and very well taken indeed. Can’t offer any improvement.. sorry ;)

These are really lovely photos JB. They ooze class and professionalism.
I may try to get some clients to commission you – I very seldom get shots this good for websites.
Thanks everyone-
and requests for more-
unheard of in this parish-6.

I changed one of the pictures, and forgot to change the text-
However, there are some compact shots here,
as well as 5×4 and DSLR.And I didn’t use a tripod in the last shot,
but I kinda like it anyway-Pete-
Anytime- locations in Ireland are a little under represented-
I do need to fix that :wink:Thanks again or the comments-

All fantastic work J! Clearly very tricky lighting conditions not only from an overall exposure point of view, but also colour balance. These are top class images and evidence of a Master at Work if I may say so.
Ross
Top class images indeed. A level of professionalism and attention
to detail not seen here as often as perhaps it should be.
This is sterling work Joseph. Damn I’m impressed.Rob.
Thanks again Gentlemen,
you’re all much too kind-Ross, the last time anyone used that title with me,
it was immediately followed by a bout of corporal punishment,
so that makes a bit of a change-It must be pointed out that more than half of the pictures above
involved a collaboration with the architects involved-
this is very useful for a number of reasons-
their input is extremely valuable,
and it helps for them to know what pictures are coming out-It also means that significant pictures are not missed.
I do have a little rant about the nature of the Architectural photograph in the age of the computer,
though I may save that for a little later-Thanks again for the comments,
you really are much too kind-I haven’t been here much lately, but I’m glad I didn’t miss these.
You’ve been hiding under a bush… no hiding your photos under a bush…. your lights under a bush well…. Oh I don’t know, it’s in the bible somewhere.
