Tight spaced Marble Bathrooms

I picked up a Sigma 14, and I have to say, for the money I am really happy. I was very close to the 14L, but couldn't justify it money wise, and samyang seemed good but the distortion bothered me as I got this lens mainly for this purpose.

These are really tight bathroom shots. Please offer criticism or advice on how to better shoot tight bathrooms. This is what I have to do for work and really appreciate any help.

I think these are very difficult to make considering the limited space.
I don't think I could make sugestions how to improve. (Maybe a nice model in the shower )
It's a big plus to me the verticals remain vertical.
They look to me very suitable for advertising.
They are beautiful lit.
The different colored top in the second one (probably because the glass) I would crop.

That is a beautiful home and so are your photos. My main suggestions are to shoot at a lower angle for some of the pictures and to show more of the bathtub in the first picture.

I'm no expert, but I've always shot them in vertical orientation. It just looks incomplete to me when a sink or a tub is cut off too much.

The lighting in #3 doesn't seem to be uniform. Do you know what caused that? Was there a window nearby?

definitely to both of the above.

i like to include some of the door frame or wall when passing into small rooms, it might not give you quite as much of the next room, but it gives a sense of place and a way to ground the viewer.

Awesome guys, Thanks!!!

So a little more background. I cannot set up lights, I basically can run through with my bag, maybe a speedlite, and natural/home lighting is dominant. So I am working with that. For the tub one being cutout, what you don't see is all the boxes and things piled in that bathroom because carpet was going into the bedroom. I totally agree, but many times I am not in the homes before they are turned over and I have to make lemonade with what I get on the last day I am allowed to be there with my camera bag in my car...

Regarding vertical shots, I will do on the next one. I never think of that, but I should fire away a few more vertical shots. Also the lower perspective when I can I will work on. Maybe I need to squat some more and try to get more floor for a foundation....


I definitely don't like the sigma 14 next to my 24 which is my favorite lens, and tons more so obviously it is alot better, but in tight areas I am happy I got it.

Here is one I did for fun, Put the camera on the drain facing up and edited a little erie because it kinda had that feel.....Just a different take on a shower.....

It is a unique perspective and a creative solution to a very tough problem. Did you do some detail work also? If this is for sales purposes, I think close-ups of hardware or details of the marble work will be more useful than this shot. It's a nice try but a very tough problem.
