Yesterday…rainy day in Vancouver but exciting photo shoot at Manito new store, where you can find luxurious silk bedding and more. I have shown the “before” images of this project in my previous post HERE and now you can have a preview of the (almost) finished space.
As you may know a photo shoot requires days of preparation, sourcing for props, arranging furniture, adjusting lights, buying flower arrangements and in this case… steaming every single wrinkle out of pillowcases, bedspreads, bed sheets.
The photographer, very professional and so pleasant to work with, Andrea Sunderland, arrived in full gear with diffusers, lenses, external flashes and all the tricks of the trade.
Of course the store looked a …bit…messy since we had to arrange
and rearrange furniture and accessories every hour.
Here I am, comfortably seating (for just 5 minutes!) and checking compositions and light with my point and shoot which I used all day wondering how magical the “real” images from Andrea will be.
Charcoal and pale blue silk for this bed with a vibrant orange lampshade on the side table.
Rich plum and fresh green silk for this image, Hilary Miles beautiful roses
and…do you remember that purple tea cup from a previous post?
A more masculine look with chocolate, champagne and whipped cream silk (yum).
Angela Grossman art piece on the floor.
Designers Guild pillows, Heather Ross new candles on the antique chair
and the vivid color of Miriam Aroeste painting as a backdrop.
Silk becomes regal!

Those photos you took of the photo shoot are fabulous. You should have just done the whole thing but I like the idea of a photographer
photographing a photographer.
I can't wait to see the store.
Last picture it is. beautiful color and composition, in which a story could be read.
