Works Experience: Day five

When I arrived for the fifth shoot, the finishing touches were being put to the main features of the venue room. There was a lot of symmetry on display, which made the entire space feel more balanced and connected. With the lighting rig finished, it was possible to really appreciate the height of the room and the feeling of space it created. I made a point of photographing the work stations and the technology that had been installed to change this from an open room to a social, vibrant space. I wanted to make the photographs from this shoot tell a story about perfection and beautifying the room. The excellent lighting and the images of the wooden floor being treated help create an atmosphere of nearing completion.

This was a great opportunity for me to focus on shooting images from a height. Climbing a ladder gave me a good vantage point to capture the floor being treated and provide a sense of scale to the room and where people would soon be dancing and socialising. I also wanted to try and capture the spot-lights that had been installed and practiced using exposure to show the angle of the lighting in the room.
