Capturing the Grandeur: An Insight into Warehouse Interior Photography

As a seasoned photographer, there's a certain allure to shooting vast environments, particularly warehouse interiors—a delightful niche of industrial photography. These spaces, with their striking scale and complexity, offer a unique challenge that is incredibly rewarding to tackle.

Photographing the interiors of warehouses is an exploration of grandeur. These vast expanses often span hundreds of thousands of square feet, filled with towering racks and buzzing with the activity of forklifts. Capturing such scale requires specialized tools and techniques, such as a medium format camera paired with top-tier tilt-shift lenses. This combination produces crystal clear images with flawless straight lines, effectively capturing the awe-inspiring scale and depth of these industrial behemoths.

Beyond the physical dimensions, warehouse photography is about translating energy into visuals. By using slower shutter speeds, I'm able to slightly blur the movement of forklifts darting down the aisles. This technique imbues the static images with a sense of dynamism and action, encapsulating the hive of activity that is a warehouse in full operation.

In essence, the art of warehouse interior photography is not merely about documenting a space. It's about capturing the very essence of the industrial world—the scale, the dynamics, and the raw energy—and communicating it through vivid, high-quality images.

Photo Retouch - 6 St Cross Street using a 9 meters high mast.

Digital photography offers incredible flexibility, allowing us to remove unwanted elements from photos and enhance the overall look of the image. In this example, we took a photo of 6 St Cross Street in Leather Lane (Hatton Garden) and digitally removed all the stalls from the street market, as well as replaced the sky to add a touch of drama. The result is a splendid image that delighted our client. We captured this unique perspective using a 9-meter-high mast, providing a truly captivating view of the property.

CGI Tower - 17 Place des Reflets, Courbevoie, Paris

Recent commission by Arax Properties, an independent and established real estate operating partner targeting the UK, Germany and France. This time, the commission was to capture a hero external photograph of the CGI Tower in La Defence, Paris. The building is beautiful and quite tall, the space to go further back and frame it was very short, the image below was only possible using a very special gear combination, the medium format Fuji GFX50S with the Canon TS-E 17mm F/4.0, which once attached to the GFX body, it becomes 12mm TS-E, giving an extraordinary focal distance and tilt/shift adjustments. The final image is a combination of multiple images captured in a space of 3 hours. Of course, I could not resist to also get somem detail shots. Check below!

INSPIRATION FOR MY NEXT PERSONAL PROJECT - ART DECO

I was looking for some particular architectural style to photograph, some inspiration for my next personal project. Well, I just found it. Whilst visiting Miami for the first time, I discovered the incredible Art Deco Historic District in South Beach, the whole neighbourhood is just about Art Deco, I have to admit, it is stunning! So, I quickly ran and grabbed my camera, no tripod, just hand held and crazily captured as much as could along Ocean Drive, I had to be quick as my wife and daughter were waiting for me by the beach. That was enough to spark the idea for my next personal project: to capture the most interesting Art Deco buildings back home, in UK, specially in London, where we probably have plenty. Now, time to do some home work, researches, to deeply study about Art Deco before the summer arrives. It will be fun!
