PILATES4YOU interior and product photo shoot

I had a pleasure to take some interior photography, product pictures and model pictures for Serap owner of www.pilates4you.co.uk a sanctuary of fitness and mindfulness place. It is based in picturesque and quite cul de sac street in the centre of Bayswater.

The interior of the place is very welcoming with plenty of personal touches and features to photograph. Serap who set up the studio is fully BASI certified mat and equipment instructor as well as Trimurti - Muti Style Yoga Instructor.

Although it was a commissioned job Serap approach made me feel like at home and the whole photo shoot went smoothly. A brief was to show the space using wide angle lens and to compensate the brightness from windows using flash as feel in. This is my speciality when shooting any interiors to allow as much as possible natural light and keep some shadows for natural look. Shades have to be controlled in the way so the interiors look bright but not fake .

Then we did some detail shots photography and product pictures. This is important especially as we wanted to show new clients a spirit and vibe of the place. Quiet often we can say if we like interior spaces by judging features arrangements , colours and textures which creates unique feel of a person who arranged them. After so many years in architecture/ interior photography I can attempt to say that I can learn about the owner of a place by interior design they created.

The pick of the photo shoot was Serap and her friend instructor performing some stretches using pilates equipment. I wanted to keep it real , so only gave them some directions where to look , keep their eyes open and look happy while holding their challenging postures:)

It was a great fun to by part of this photo shoot - all in one architecture, interiors and model shoot at one go !!
