Suffolk Farmhouse, Country Homes & Interiors
Cover Story, photographing a Tudor farmhouse
Creating an editorial narrative picked up by multiple publications
The Brief
The brief for this two-day shoot was to capture how designer Sean Symington balanced the existing character of a historic English Farmhouse with its fireplaces and dark beams, by introducing warmth and elegance from his choice of fabric and colour.
The Process
To tell the story, we styled and composed a comprehensive set of wider shots, vignettes and details. The narrative and variety in the final set caught the eye of editors at three national publications: Country Life and 25 Beautiful Homes both featured the sitting room, while Country Homes & Interiors selected the project as their cover story and main feature.
The Result
All three publications focused in on the property’s main sitting room for their features lead image. We identified this room as key on the shoot, and made sure we had two strong wide angles. With its low ceilings and large fireplace, shooting landscape was the right choice for this space; illustrating the architectural canvas Sean was working with and all the layers of fabric and colour he introduced to the whole space.
