.. the year 2011, by shooting some great homes for next years Christmas magazines.
And so, we finished yesterday by shooting this stunning Edwardian home…
.. which was beautifully decorated and furnished by the owners Emma & Jason Johnston here…
.. in near Banbridge in County Down.
Emma is an Interior Designer who recently launched a very stylish product range of linen footstools, headboards and bed boxes…
.. so the suggestion of featuring their home in a magazine appealed to them, as an ideal opportunity to showcase her various products.
Here’s wishing her every success with her new venture – as we keep our fingers crossed that the Editors like what they see here…
.. too.
Anyway, that’s it for this year – so all that’s left to say is: Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from Marie, Mandi & me @ ampimage.com

[…] Which we talked about shooting here: Finishing off. […]
Featured in the December 2012 issue of 25 Beautiful Homes magazine…
.. on pages 152 to 155.

In some of your pictures I can’t figure out where the flash light comes from, seems like through the window. Do you place them outside pointing through the window, as to replicate daylight? Am I right or wrong here?..
Also- do you do a lot of exposure bracketing, (as I can see here on Capture One Pro software window) and blend everything in Photoshop?

Answer to your 1st question is: Yes.
Answer to your 2nd question is: Sometimes – but more often than not, the main reason for so many frames, is because the Stylist will be changing & moving things to suit the camera – so I’d shoot-off another frame, to let her see what the camera is seeing, as that’s often very different to how the eye sees it (as you know).
So I usually only need to process the last few frames; however, I would usually keep them all, because sometimes we may try a number of things – and then make the final call, back in the studio, later on.
“Better looking at it, than looking for it” – as they say – and it would be the same with the exposures, so I bracket them too, just as I would back in the days of film.

Just a note to say: Congratulations to Emma & Jason – as 25 Beautiful Homes magazine have said they would love to feature your home.
So that’s one to look out for in next years Christmas issue 🙂
