When is the best time to photograph interiors?

Despite having a wide range of equipment to get the correct result, a lot also depends on the timing of the shoot. You'll be asked lots of questions when you get in touch to make sure we get it right and avoid the pitfalls. For example, getting a 'cosy' result in a dimly lit room with a glaring low winter sun is impossible. I am extremely flexible working late evenings and nights when the job requires it.
