Even if they are artists, this team of photographers is truly a team of professionals who grasped the role and skills of a specialist when it comes to arranging their photo studio.
“How did you think about interior designers before you arrange your studio?”
We acknowledge that we did not know much about what they were doing, and implicitly, I had little idea about designers in general. How I have not worked with someone so far, or in particular, we could not have made any impression. We did not have any of our knowledge in this area, nor could we imagine what the work and role of a designer meant until we had not actually worked on arranging our studio. From the perspective of our job, however, we can appreciate a good design by analyzing the result obtained.
“How did you decide to call a profile firm?”
We needed to set up our work space and we wanted to make it look higher. It was even more challenging because in the same room we had to combine the actual work area, post-processing of images, etc., with offices, cabinets and shelves, with the photo studio part. At this point, I realized that there is nothing in our reach to do.
“What would have been the biggest challenge for you if you had to arrange your studio and work area yourself?”
The biggest problem was the lack of experience, in order to make the aesthetic fit of the decor in the theme and the overall ensemble.
“What do you think was the most important contribution made by the designer to your interior?”
Specialist consultancy, understanding of our job and what would help us in business beyond just the created image. And here we refer to fitting into the allocated budget, versatility of the arrangement so that it easily transforms from the work area into various frames for photo sessions. And let’s not forget that through the entire ensemble created, the designer has respected the identity of our firm.
“What do you think now about services provided by a interior design firm?”
They are services that require designers and architects a lot of knowledge accumulated over time. It takes a lot of experience to quickly find the best solutions for the client.
“What recommendations would you make now to those who have space to arrange and are still in doubt whether to use an interior design firm or to save money and do it on their own?”
Just like in the field of photography, customers often think that the equipment (in the case of fittings, investment in furniture, lighting, decoration) is more important than the vision of a dedicated and passionate specialist. At the same time, only a specialist can guide you to spend efficiently, fit into a budget, and provide you with a lot of other practical tips that they face on a daily basis.
