Client:
Andrew James Kitchens, a high-end bespoke kitchen design company based just outside Leeds in West Yorkshire.

Objective:
The goal was to capture the beauty and innovation of a recent project in Harrogate, where Andrew James Kitchens designed a stunning kitchen and a modern bathroom. The images were to be used for case studies and future marketing across all their channels.

Approach:
Our approach focused on using advanced photography techniques to highlight the exquisite design and craftsmanship of the project. Here’s how we executed the shoot:

1. Initial Consultation: We worked closely with the Andrew James Kitchens team to understand the key features and elements they wanted to highlight in the photographs. This included the kitchen’s innovative storage solutions and the modern design of the bathroom.
2. Advanced Photography Techniques: To capture the essence of the design, we employed a mix of techniques:
   • Flambient Photography: A blend of flash and ambient light to create balanced and vibrant images. This technique was particularly effective in highlighting the kitchen’s features, such as the island and storage solutions.
   • HDR and Bracketing: Using High Dynamic Range (HDR) and bracketing techniques, we ensured that the images had a wide range of tones and details, especially useful for the bright and reflective surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom.
3. Comprehensive Coverage: We meticulously photographed both the kitchen and the bathroom:
   • Kitchen: Images showcasing the layout, the island, innovative storage solutions, and the overall spaciousness of the room.
   • Bathroom: Photos highlighting the modern wet floor design, the glass shower area, and other contemporary elements.
4. Post-Processing: The images were carefully processed to enhance their quality, ensuring that the final photos accurately represented the high standards of Andrew James Kitchens’ work.

Challenges:
Capturing the intricate details of both the kitchen and bathroom required precise lighting and careful composition. Balancing natural and artificial light to avoid reflections and shadows, especially in the bathroom, was a key challenge.

Results:
The final collection of photographs provided Andrew James Kitchens with a stunning visual showcase of their project. The images effectively highlighted the bespoke design and innovative features of both the kitchen and the bathroom, making them ideal for use in case studies and marketing materials.

Conclusion

The project for Andrew James Kitchens in Harrogate exemplifies the power of advanced photography techniques in capturing high-end design. By using flambient and HDR techniques, we were able to produce a set of images that showcase the exceptional craftsmanship and innovation of the Andrew James Kitchens team.
