I’m a photographer. I see and can manipulate light pretty well, I can put three dimensional shapes into a two dimensional rectangle in an orderly and aesthetically pleasing way, and I have the technical know how to utilize myriad gear in crafting digital files with lots of good data to play with in digital editing software. I’ve even gotten pretty good at moving objects around in a space so that they ‘feel’ their best inside the frame. But…I am no stylist.
I’ve given it a try and the results were passable. My favorite part of the admittedly fun process was heading to Homegoods with $400 worth of swag to return, but occasionally a project’s budget will allow me to bring in a professional…and the results speak for themselves.
Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot what would have been a barren office space, a few tables and chairs sitting sad and lonely in an otherwise empty space, until stylist Jim Lichon took his talents and nearly five grand worth of everything office oriented and gave the space some life. Results below, and thank you Jim!
