Constance Gauthier Pictures | DC Logo Shoot

Given what selection of of my clients are top-of-their-field photographers themselves, I perhaps shouldn’t be worried when a brand spanking new inquiry is to be had in from every other proficient artist.

And yet I *all the time* am.

One take a look at Connie’s art work and I knew I was speaking to an absolute seize of her craft. She’s an construction & within photographer based throughout the DC area, and her art work is a DREAM. She’s a seize of photographing living spaces- her portfolio of kitchens will leave you drooling (and Pinning for days)! Add to that the fact that she’s kind, humble, and eternally considerate, and I was totally extraordinarily happy she asked me to shoot her emblem photos.

I knew the site for Connie’s shoot was once as soon as going to be key- we’d have favored a space that spoke to the high-level precise belongings that she photos, so we’d need a furnished-but-vacant property where I would possibly simply {photograph} her… photographing a space (take a look at that on for meta). Alternatively it moreover needed to have quite a few natural delicate… and quite a few room to move spherical… all while feeling independent enough to speak to Connie’s private emblem vibe.

Easy, right kind?

Because of the fast-moving nature of DC precise belongings, we couldn’t verify a location until the week previous to the shoot… and then go our hands that it didn’t pass beneath contract (which may hinder our ability to shoot, throughout the fit that there was once as soon as an inspection or something scheduled). Neatly, positive enough, the house we decided on DID pass beneath contract the evening time previous to we arrived, but we have now been in a position to make it happen anyways- super grateful to Connie being able to navigate that with the listing agent!

We concentrated on a collection of photos showing each and every Connie and her employee Nathan at art work doing each and every photograph & video to fully grasp the visual promoting and advertising and marketing needs for a brand spanking new listing, along with upscale portraits for use on About pages, bio photos, and the like. Given how so much landscape-oriented imagery Connie showcases on her internet website, I was moreover conscious to shoot further horizontal photos than usual.

Connie, it manner this type of lot that you just allowed me to shoot the ones for you. Thank you on your imagine, and for maintaining us all laughing all over your shoot day (it helped take the threshold off the nerves!). You’re a excitement and a gem, and I hope this isn’t the general we see of each other!
