On Friday 24th September we invited a photographer friend of a friend over to use our warehouse and showrooms as a location for a photo shoot. I have been following this chaps work on Flikr.com for some time now and I am very impressed with his work and at just how prolific he his. A writer writes, a painter paints and a photographer takes pictures. Edwin Firminger takes a lot of pictures. I am a keen amateur photographer myself and believe me when I say that this guy is goooooood. Hence the invite.
Before you think we did this in a mad fit of charity let me just say that we at Fabulous Furniture realise that a chair is a chair until you sit someone on it, then it becomes fulfilled in its purpose. A photo becomes a picture and though we have plenty of photos, we dont have that many pictures. As Raymond Loewy famously said, "Between two products equal in price, function and quality, the better looking will out sell the other." And of course we like our furniture to look as good as it can and sitting a pretty young model on it usually does the trick.
We want all our customers to see themselves sat on that very chair and to make a good decision about their purchases from us. We often get feedback from customers telling us how the furniture they newly own is so much better than they had really imagined, so we hope to bring you more images featuring our furniture. We will always have the usual product catalogue photos showing you the products features etc but we are aiming to compliment these with some super cool pictures.
In this first session we were short on time so Ed and Kittie had to work fast. I also took a few shots of them working in our warehouse.
