My First International Photography Job: Capturing "Space" in Palma, Majorca
Traveling to Palma, Majorca, for my first international photography assignment was an exhilarating experience. The task at hand was to photograph a newly opened co-working office space called "Space," designed by the visionary Andy. Nestled in the heart of Palma, this bright and airy office offers incredible views of the harbour and the cruise ships that grace its waters, making it an inspiring place for local business people and entrepreneurs.
From the moment I stepped into "Space," I was struck by the thoughtful design that permeated every corner of the office. Andy has truly created an environment that caters to the needs of modern professionals. The layout is versatile, accommodating everything from single desks for solo work to private offices for more focused tasks, and even well-appointed board meeting rooms for collaborative projects. The atmosphere is welcoming and productive, with a well-equipped kitchen that adds a touch of home to the work environment. The seamless connections for laptops and computers, along with the strategic layout and lighting, make it clear that every detail has been carefully considered.
To capture the essence of "Space," I employed a variety of photographic techniques. Wide-angle shots were essential in showcasing the spaciousness and the stunning views of the harbor, effectively highlighting the airy ambiance of the office. Using bracketing, I was able to balance the bright natural light streaming through the windows with the interior lighting, creating images that truly represent the vibrant environment.
Close-up shots played a crucial role in pulling out the finer details that make "Space" unique. These images focused on the intricate design elements and the people who bring the space to life. Whether it was a thoughtfully placed plant, the sleek lines of a modern desk, or the expressions of concentration and collaboration on the faces of the professionals, these close-ups helped tell the story of what makes "Space" a hub of productivity and creativity.
Photographing "Space" in Palma, Majorca, was more than just a job; it was an inspiring journey that allowed me to blend my passion for photography with the dynamic spirit of an international locale. The experience has not only expanded my professional portfolio but also enriched my appreciation for the power of thoughtful design in creating spaces that foster innovation and community. Andy's vision for "Space" is a testament to how work environments can be both functional and beautiful, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to capture it through my lens.
