Congratulations Dave Koch, April 2025 PFRE Photographer of the Month! The theme this month was "Primary Bedroom".Dave Koch - Entry 1056 Peter Wingfield - Entry 1051 Paul-Dan Dragoman - Entry 1053Here's what Dave has to say:Thank you so much — this real ...
Although I like where the photographer was going with this one, I think she/he may have gone a smidge too far. I feel that bringing back a little exposure at the bottom of the staircase would achieve the same dramatic effect. As it is, I feel some kind of monster hiding in the corner at the bottom of the stairs is called for here. With a monster in the shot, this one is my winner this month!
Dramatic light is great... although I don't think it works for a real estate listing used with this much weight... there is a fine line of showing the product for prospective buyers and still maintaining a little life and feeling to it but this is more likely to be used or seen in an editorial or architectural job assignment. If the dramatic story to be told here is the purpose, then I immediately feel like there's a staircase leading to a dark and cold basement.
