Commercial Interior Photography of New Lanark Mill Hotel

When the New Lanark Mill Hotel were looking for commercial interior photographers in Edinburgh to photograph their newly refurbished rooms, they approached us because of our experience in this area.

Set in the historic village of New Lanark, the New Lanark Mill Hotel lies about 35 miles South West of Edinburgh. Famous for the pioneering work of Robert Owen, who improved living and working conditions in the early 19th Century, the village is now a popular tourist destination and the hotel offers spa and conference facilities as well excellent accommodation and dining.

The hotel offers a number of special weekend packages so this shot was created for promotion use.

As commercial interior photographers, we like to convey a sense of place, whether that be in New Lanark, Edinburgh or elsewhere in Scotland. The New Lanark Mill Hotel, as the name suggests, is set in an old mill, so the windows were an important feature, with many of them looking out on the river and countryside.

Although there was light coming in from the window and also from the bedside lamps, we needed to balance this with some subtle fill to get the right effect.

When capturing the ambience of a venue, it’s important not to overwhelm the lighting that’s already there, so we subtly supplement this with our own lighting to help balance some of the light and dark areas but in such as way that it always looks natural and inviting.

To add a little extra atmosphere the cushions were subtly lit to crate some contrast and help then stand out.

If you are looking for commercial interior photography in Edinburgh, Glasgow or elsewhere in Scotland then please drop us an email or call us on 0131 639 0001 and we will be very happy to chat about your requirements.
