Skirted Roundtable: Michael J. Lee

This week we welcome architectural photographer Michael J. Lee to The Skirted Roundtable.  Lee is kind enough to discuss the ins and outs of professional photoshoots.  Lee is a personal friend of Linda’s, having shot several of her projects (see above.)   Starting out as an interior designer, Lee brings an extra element to his photoshoots.   Most architectural photographers don’t have the design background that Lee has and this gives him a distinct advantage over competitors.  He is able to style the interiors, as well as photograph them, which is a rarity in this business.   During his interview,  Lee gives out helpful tips about how to take better pictures.   He claims it’s not the camera that makes a great shot!  Well, snort, thanks for telling me now, after I’ve spent a small fortune on cameras and lenses trying to get better shots for my blog!  Something tells me that he is being just a little humble.  Lee has a fascinating story to tell about first spending years working with the best designers in New England before he shifted gears in midstream, starting over again, shooting interiors instead of creating them.  It’s a good one this week, even if you aren’t into photography!  Be sure to listen, you’ll enjoy it!

 

 

This photograph had us all wondering exactly how he shot it – Lee explains!

The Skirted Roundtable: We Got Mail!!!!!!

 

This week we asked our listeners to twitter or email us questions about design and blogging.  We were thrilled with your participation – there were lots of really great questions sent it.  Thank you!!!!!  We spent almost two hours answering them and Linda had quite a time editing it all down.  But she persevered – thank you Linda – and actually divided it into two different shows.   To listen, go to The Skirted Roundtable here.  

 

As always, your support is much appreciated.  More and more of you are listening and the numbers continue to grow.  What was once just a little experiment has turned into something that the three of us enormously enjoy doing  and feel a big responsibility to.   We can’t stress to you how thankful we are to all of you for taking the time and effort to listen to us.   And – please continue to send in your ideas, comments, and questions you want us to address on SRT.  We read each one and seriously consider every suggestion.   And finally -  SSSShhhh - We have a real super star guest coming up in the next month or two!!!
