A kitchen shot I took last month for a home I shot. Realtor wanted another image for portfolio. Used HDR (3 exposures) using Photmatix and final processing in LR2.
This is a kitchen set I worked on months ago. Finally updated & blogged!

Since the last photos, the counters have been added (in addition to some electrical, plumbing and detail work). We're thrilled with the results so far and can see the completion of the project coming up!
About all that's left here is the backsplash in the kitchen.
At the right of this photo you can see the second prep sink, an invaluable feature for any large party. The door leads to a dramatic powder room.

When I was small, a very, very LONG time ago, my Mum had these hanging wire baskets in our kitchen. She hung them right over the sink & I remember thinking they were the coolest concept ever. I believe I might have been about four & whilst most children my age were playing with dolls, I was contemplating how those baskets were made.
FAST FORWARD TO ADULTHOOD--->
When I moved back to the U.S., I came with two suitcases. I'd left behind not only a career, a partner & his dear children, but a beautiful place in Sydney that I'd worked years making into a home. So, here I was in NYC, starting all over again - for the tenth time in nearly as many years.
Starting from scratch is never easy, but it doesn't have to be complicated either. I think it's just human nature to make simple things complicated. Sure, it's akin to a death/rebirth & can be an extremely humbling, yet also an empowering experience. Anyone whose ever had to do so can attest to this fact.
So, on one of my first thrift store excursions - on the LES - I stumbled across...you guessed it, my Mum's 1970's vintage wire baskets! Logic will tell you they weren't actually my Mum's, but I took it as a sign anyway. After all, what good is logic in a life of illogical sequence? I'd spent months contemplating on just how I'd arrived @ this juncture in my life and when I spotted the lovingly worn baskets, suddenly everything became clear!
I was EXACTLY where I was supposed to be. And, even though I didn't have an apartment to hang them in, I purchased the baskets (.50cents). Call me nostalgic. Call me hopeful. In the time since, they've hung in the kitchen of my very first NYC apartment & now hang in my loft.
Like me, they've taken a beating. The chains broke so many times, I had to rig them with galvanised wire & loose-leaf paper rings, but they've stood the true designer's test of time. As much as I'm around & source fancy wares, new gadgets & expensive products, one might think these cheap baskets would pale, in comparison. Instead, they remain one of my most favourite utilitarian kitchen items (they hold a lot of heavy stuff).
To me, they're more than Chinatown baskets, for they remind me of a more simple time and place. More importantly, they serve as a reminder that good design is simple & pure & that it doesn't have to be fancy & expensive to be good. It's like Dwell magazine's fruit bowl manifesto, in visual representation, except in triplicate & in hangable form.
Thanks Mum, for constantly helping me to remember the KISS theory - each and every time I re-enter my space after a harried day in a very complicated place. Happy 2008!

I really like the style of his kitchen. He sent me a fun kitchen style quiz when I am doing my remodeling. I found a lot of inspiration through this colorful quiz.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN - This is a vintage cabinet which we restored and re-painted in one of our fave color combos. It sold before we could really photograph it. The only solution to disappointments like this is for you to come shop here more often.
Nice white and bright kitchen, with plenty of sunshine and modest staging makes shooting a pleasure. sb80 CL and CR, sb80 on the floor behind the counter (making that errant shadow on the right cabinet), sb80 to the left of the wine cooler and sb800 on camera.
Recent shoot in a new home, but the owners had already moved in by the time I was allowed in to shoot it.
This kitchen had great "bones!" The space was there, it just needed some rearranging. Moving a doorway from the left to the right side of the wall made all the difference. The stove was relocated to an outside wall and to maximize the use of space a microwave/hood was used for ventilation. The sink remained centered to the windows and a dishwasher could now be incorporated into the design. The kitchen gained nine feet of un-interrupted counter top space and the use of a utility cabinet next to the refrigerator not only provided a tremendous amount of storage but offered a custom built-in look. A pass-through was created above the long countertop to provide a decorative and functional element to the room. The floor was tiled and the walls were textured and painted. The creative use of paint, an arched pattern, in the "nook" gave the space an open feel.
