There's always a lot to think about when photographing a hall. It's important to show the viewer not only the space around the staircase, but also the rooms off it and how it relates to the rest of the property. Here I wanted to hint at the beautiful stained glass window at the top of the stairs and dining room just off the hall. The property was packed full of interesting architecture and ornate features.

When photographing this kitchen I had to be very aware of what was outside... lots of snow! Which being a property photographer I naturally try and avoid, as it dates the images and indicates how long the property has been on the market. I mainly settled on compositions I thought suited the space whilst pushing the window exposure as much as possible. After all, I want the viewers eye to be focusing her on the inside and design of this kitchen/dining area. The warm lighting here really helps to show this as an inviting place to be.
