Studio Remodeling. Part 2

Oleksandr — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 06:11:54 +0000

Added a few additions to my studio. We were shopping on Sunday and I stumbled across this quote, which, I think, works quite well for photography studio. Here is a few images of me putting it on the wall.

Then today, my wall prints has arrived. So now it is pretty much complete. The plan is to add some moody lighting… But that is topic for another post. Enjoy!

Studio Remodeling

I never liked the idea meeting with clients in a local Starbucks and trying to talk to then through the noise of coffee grinding machine. So, we decided to convert office space into a studio/meeting place. Basically, we started from scratch and brought all new stuff. We painted walls and got some furniture.

The moment we tried those chairs, we felt in love with them. They are Luna Chairs designed by Norwegian designer Odd Knutsen. We needed something comfortable and small. These chairs work perfectly for our space and they are very comfortable. I think, clients will love them.

This is the working place to process images and design albums. These M-AUDIO speakers produce very rich and loud sound. Love them:

This Wacom tables is a present from my lovely wife. It is must have tool for graphic designer or photographer. The pen is pressure sensitive and makes image processing a real joy.
