Kokuyo (Japanese) and Bene (German) are two internationally renowned office furniture makers who joined forces together. Rimagine was called upon to do some photos of their new collection in their Shanghai showroom, since most of the furniture was oriented to the local market.
I was really interested in playing with different angles and light warmths as we went from sunlight, to halogen to studio lights. All and all I’m quite please with the results… so is the client, of course!

There are endless possibilities with lighting. I guess that’s one of the many things and reasons that keep me so interested in photography. I’m one of the lucky ones that loves his work. Very lucky.
To see and show the different possibilities I did different lighting schemes on my new mountain bike.

We were already doing pack-shot photography for Time Shop 24 at Rimagine, but we also wanted to show them what we could do some nice high-end photos of their watches with some beautifully crafted lighting.
Each one of these photos took an entire day in studio to create. And they are both compositions of multiple photos that have been put together into one.

The people at Lauten Audio found me though my website and I brought them over to Rimagine. Being based in the US, it was not possible for the client to be in studio to oversee the photo-shoot, and he wanted to try something different. After a few email exchanges and conversations, we had a better idea of what he was after, but not exactly… so we gave him multiple options, trying different things with the lighting. In the end he was very happy with the results.

Sometimes things slow down in the studio. Rarely, mind you. But, when they do I like to do tests with products that I rarely have the chance to work with. Or, try my hand at some new lighting ideas… without having to answer to the client looking over my shoulder.
I do this mainly out of curiosity, because I like playing around with different ideas. It’s sometimes a total disaster, but other times it’s a happy surprise worth putting in your portfolio.
