Office Photos

[SwissJon]

I've been asked by my company to take some interior shots of our offices for some publications they're doing for new employees. Our offices are pretty boring straight forward offices.

Any ideas on how I can make the photos a little less boring.. Nobody wants to be in the photos so I've just got the desks and offices, corridors, boardrooms, coffee areas and entry halls.. Obviously you can't say "go to this corner and take a photo from here" but really, if anyone has any ideas about making the photos more interesting, I'm all ears..

I'd say aim to take photos of the shapes not the office. And go high key. It's surprising how nice things can look when there's nothing there :P

Yeah go more abstract and find interesting lines, details etc and focus on these.

Another option would be to set up during the day and have a long exposure and get everyone to move around a lot so the office looks busy and dynamic, but no-one can be made out as x person, just shadows and blurs.

If the people in your office still wont take part shoot after work, get a load of mates in to the office and get them to do it instead

Just my thoughts tho

Hmm.. Hadn't thought of the blurred idea.. Gives the office some life while leaving them unidentifyable.. Thanks folks.. And yeah Biomech, I agree, high key is the way to go.. I've a few ideas about that, might combine the two.
