Interior photography is more than just a visual representation of a space – it is an interpretation of the atmosphere and story each location tells. In this project created for IEN Studio, I had the opportunity to capture an apartment with an ambitious interior design, where each room tells its own story.

Redesigned interiors in historic buildings

Interior photography is more than just a visual representation of a space – it is an interpretation of the atmosphere and story each location tells. In this project created for IEN Studio, I had the opportunity to capture an apartment with an ambitious interior design, where each room tells its own story.

Fotografia de interior este mai mult decât o simplă redare vizuală a unui spațiu – este o interpretare a atmosferei și a poveștii pe care fiecare loc o transmite. În acest proiect realizat pentru IEN Studio, am avut ocazia să surprind un apartament cu un design interior ambițios, unde fiecare încăpere spune o poveste proprie.

Decor includes dried floral arrangement, candles, and books atop a shag rug over herringbone wood flooring. The warm lighting and neutral palette create a sophisticated interior

The main goal of this photo session was to capture the space’s atmosphere as naturally as possible, using the available light to create a perfect balance between the lit areas and shadows. The apartment impresses with its stylistic diversity – each room has its own personality, and the kitchen, terrace and living room represent the meeting point of all these influences, creating a harmonious and welcoming ensemble.

Scopul principal al acestei sesiuni foto a fost să redăm atmosfera spațiului cât mai natural, folosindu-ne de lumina disponibilă pentru a crea un echilibru perfect între zonele luminoase și umbre. Apartamentul impresionează prin diversitatea stilistică – fiecare cameră are propria personalitate, iar bucătăria și livingul reprezintă punctul de întâlnire al tuturor acestor influențe, creând un ansamblu armonios și primitor.

One of the main challenges of this project was the lack of sun light. As it was a less sunny day, I had to rely on the available light sources, carefully selected by the designer. To preserve the authenticity of the space, I worked with diffused light, carefully selecting which lights to turn on or off, and I was extremely attentive to the colors, ensuring that the tones rendered were as true to reality as possible.

This project once again highlighted the importance of dedicating time to each room. The apartment included three rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a terrace, and to capture every corner in detail, the photoshoot took place over five hours.

Una dintre principalele provocări ale acestui proiect a fost lipsa luminii naturale. Fiind o zi mai puțin însorită, a fost necesar să mă bazez pe sursele de lumină prezente, alese cu grijă de designer. Pentru a păstra autenticitatea spațiului, am lucrat într-o lumină cât mai difuză difuză selectând cu atenție care dintre lumini le aprind sau nu și am fost extrem de atent la culori, asigurându-mă că tonurile redate sunt cât mai fidele realității.

Acest proiect a subliniat încă o dată importanța acordării timpului necesar fiecărei încăperi. Apartamentul a inclus trei camere, două băi, bucătărie și terasă, iar pentru a surprinde fiecare colț în detaliu, sesiunea foto s-a desfășurat pe parcursul a cinci ore.

No matter how advanced rendering technology becomes, photography remains the only way to preserve the authenticity of a completed project. These images not only document but also provide a real visual archive, conveying the emotion and unique character of each space.

Indiferent de cât de avansată devine tehnologia randărilor, fotografiile rămân singura modalitate de a păstra autenticitatea unui proiect finalizat. Aceste imagini nu doar documentează, ci și oferă o arhivă vizuală reală, redând emoția și caracterul unic al fiecărui spațiu.
