Commercial Photo Shoot: East Austin Carpenters
I was recently contacted by East Austin Carpenters with the task of a commercial/editorial type shoot for their new web site. I jumped at the chance, since this would be a bit different from my normal work photographing interiors and architecture.
I chatted for a while with the owner of the business, trying to get a feel for what his needs were and the style of images needed. We scheduled for an early morning weekday shoot, and the very next morning I packed up my bag at the crack of dawn and headed down FM 71, an at times route that winds down through the Hill Country of west Austin.
I introduced myself to the crew and began setting up. I was shown around at the fine work that EAC had done in an almost Prarie-style home that one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s pupils had designed.
First we started with an exterior
It was just early enough to where the morning light wasn’t casting harsh shadows
We moved on to some interiors
A detail of a door EAC had installed. One obstacle was that my off-camera flash caused a lot of hotspots/glare in the shower tile which I removed in Photoshop later on
Then we stepped outside and I began photographing the crew at work

A detail of some tools, I spread sawdust around the table for this shot. The client didn’t end up using it but I like how it turned out anyway.
Do you have work you’re proud of and need to show it to potential clients? Contact Me and inquire about a project today.
For other similar work of mine, you can look at a commercial business shoot I did with LatinWorks as well as a gallery of my other editorial images.
