First off - those may LOOK like Tom Ford books on the coffee table, but I assure you they’re not ;-) Go ahead…take a closer look.
Shot at 38mm on a Sony a7r4 I wanted to give this living room as compressed of a shot as I possibly could. 38mm was my limit because if I physically moved the camera back any further (and keep the composition the way I wanted) a stair handrail would have begun to sneak into the frame. Several windows on the right were flagged to emphasize the light raking across from left to right. And some flash using a Westcott 7’ umbrella was placed outside the windows on the left to give that light a subtle boost. Commissioning client was the interior designer and they wanted to keep the TV art in the shot because “it went with the room”.
Fom Tord hahah, that's awesome. I recognized this image from your Youtube video. Great shot Matthew!
This Fom Tord book is one-of-a-kind!
