Finding the right perspective sometimes means looking in unexpected places.
For this lobby seating area, the strongest composition happened from inside the elevator. So Matt Gillispie held the doors open while I worked.
Unfortunately, the elevator had other ideas and eventually interpreted our extended stay as a crisis, automatically contacting emergency services.
Being one to always ask for forgiveness instead of permission, I apologized.
Our method? Not officially recommended.
It’s a good reminder that creating thoughtful interior photography is constant problem solving on set, one unexpected obstacle at a time.
