Creating a beautiful space is one thing, but capturing it, through the lens of a camera is another! The purpose of styling is to evoke emotion and tell a story, and it is imperative that those feelings translate to the imagery you capture. More often than not, this imagery – be that for your portfolio, website or social media – will be what sets your work apart from others. Whether you’re staging a home for sale or styling your latest interior design project, your spaces should captivate and inspire.
We recently had the privilege of welcoming renown Interior and Architectural Photographer Nat Spada (formerly The Palm Co) to our showroom. From luxury homes to commercial spaces, Nat specialises in curating high-end visuals that showcase the beauty and functionality of every design. “Through my editorial lens, I partner with creatives to capture the passion, stories, and details that define those spaces” says Nat.
