commercial space
Showrooms are interesting, aren’t they? They’re like dioramas that you can buy or, eventually, live in. I’ve probably written about this before but retail is so much fun to shoot because it’s a bit of a post-mortem collaboration, in the sense that someone has lit the space so beautifully for you without you even knowing you’d be coming!
I grew up going to a lot of malls but there aren’t many in NYC. However, the Atlantic Terminal/Atlantic Center Mall seems to be an inalienable fixture in Brooklyn with big box stores, flanked by an Apple Store, Whole Foods, and the Barclay’s center. Perhaps it’s the gentrification of an area, or the modernizing of an already kinetic junction in the borough. Either way, I was tasked to shoot the space that I’ve frequented so much in the past by its management company.
