These are from an assignment to photograph a condo in Washington DC done by interior designer Eileen Ritter. We’ve done a fair amount of work with Eileen and one of the things that I marvel at is how well she works with the individual tastes of her client. Case in point – both this unit and the unit shown in the previous post were done by her – but both have very different sensibilities.

These are from a shoot we had a bit ago for interior designer Eileen Ritter and Associates. The unit was very beautifully done in white and wood. I’m already a sucker for good minimalist design, but anytime I walk into a room and see a Wegman print (or 2) on the wall – I’m in.

I recently had a job with a interior design firm that works almost exclusively in the healthcare field. I was working with their president and one of their principal designers who summed up the core of their business as F – F – and A. Furniture, finishes and accessories. It’s nice to work with a client who knows their niche.

Sorry about the absence, I’ve been on an extended project.  We’ve been shooting though, lot’s of architecture and food as usual.  A few shots below from a recent architectural project on Maryland’s Eastern shore

We recently shot a whole house project for architect Kevin Shertz out of Chestertown, MD. It’s a beautiful home on the Chesapeake bay, but then again, I’m a sucker for timber framing.

One of my clients is a furniture design company (David Iatesta & Co.) The founder’s home is, of course, filled with wonderful pieces of furniture from all over the world. Some of the furniture is new, some very old. We were using his home for a room shot,  and as we’re setting up I asked if it was ok to set my computer down on a particularly old campaign desk. David replies that it’s fine, and away we go. A couple of hours later he turns to me and says, “You know that campaign desk used to belong to Napoleon, right?”

It’s events like this that are one of the many reasons I love my job!

We’re so often bombarded by the notion that “good enough” is acceptable. When you get to shoot a job for a client that really understands what it takes to get it done right – you embrace it. Anytime I can spend a few hours making something perfect for a client is a good day. Shot for David Iatesta Co.
