The traditional image of an interior photographer is the guy who comes out to shoot one's home for the Estate agents' leaflet. Generally speaking this can be done in a comparatively short space of time.

Shooting for a glossy magazine is often very different.

Firstly, every single picture taken on the day has the potential of either appearing on the cover or as a double page spread within the magazine.
Secondly, most of the magazines are printed to a very high standard, which means every detail within the image can be clearly seen. These magazines are widely read and their Editors demand very high standards !. As a result, every effort is made to achieve "picture perfect" everytime.

Which means we would often bring along a lot more than just a camera... althought possibly not just as much as this :)
