Today we had a photo shoot in our house for a UK Interiors Magazine. It started this morning at about 10am when the photographer, Barbara Egan, and stylist, Penny Crawford-Collins, arrived. The stylist was very happy with the house and said she would need to add very few props as we had a very "strong look". The shoot only took about 5 hours - again the stylist said this was very speedy as normally most houses need serious decluttering but ours thankfully didn't.
Here's a few photos from the shoot.
A little rearrangement of a shelf by Penny the Stylist
Lamp being set up in the hallway (our habitat rug was removed from the hall as the stylist felt it didn't match the fabulous rugs that were loaned by RugArt
The stylist added accents of orange to the kitchen. Oranges were arranged on a platter and my orange Le Creuset pot was set up on the induction hob.
Here's Barbara the photographer taking a picture of the conversation pit
Not a whole lot was changed in the master bedroom. The stylist added these cushions and brought a few items from the guest room in to this bedroom
Here is the back of the house being photographed. Isn't the Calligaris chair amazing?!!
Here is my own attempt at staging!! I set up this little tray of cocktails (Cosmo's) and nibblies - it was used in the picture of the hot tub.
Look to the left of the picture - it's my cocktail tray!
The stylist added the lovely bright cushions which make you nearly forget that it is November and that there was frost this morning! Shadowlight gave us the lamp to the right of the picture for the shoot.
Ciaran and I were photographed along with the dog once the house was all done. Due to the fact that it will be possibly Summer before the photos are featured in the magazine I was advised that I should not wear winter clothes i.e no woolly jumpers or boots. I was told to wear pale colours - no black, navy or brown. I wore a cream floaty blouse with tan trousers and a pair of ballet pumps while Ciaran wore a pink shirt with dark chinos. We were photographed in various poses such as relaxing watching TV, chatting on the couch and then Ciaran coming in the door with the dog and me greeting them from the couch.
We enjoyed the whole experience and are looking forward to seeing the photos in the magazine!
Here's a few more pictures to give you a taste of the day. Enjoy!
