I've been wanting to create some indoor model shots that include nice warm ambient and furnishings but I haven't come across anything suitable.

I've seen others suggest furniture stores and hotel lobbies but I just don't see either of those being a good option. Someone's finely furnished and spacious home would be ideal but I don't know of anyone that fits that description.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

If the builder is willing, model homes work great! I did an engagement shoot in some model homes and often they have pianos, theater rooms, etc. Oh, and they are all finely furnished.

What about places of high value that get rented out as holiday pads such as mansions etc, maybe some company that would look upon it as some free advertising/pr?

yeah, how do you arrange something like this?

i read the OP a few hours back so forgive me if ive forgotten something but how do you set up lighting? was this going to be all, natural lighting? or maybe with a reflector?

sounds like it could be pretty good as long as you can avoid getting tags in the image...


-im just trying. sometimes i succeed

How exactly do you go about getting permission to shoot in a hotel lobby? I recall awhile back some guy did a lingerie shoot in a hotel lobby in Texas, it kinda blew my mind that he got permission for that.
