This is the part where you excuse my horrible scanning by commending me on the use of a real live book rather than the neatly framed jpegs of google images.

These are images by James Merrell from the book

Miller, J. & Miller, M.(1993) Victorian Style. London: M. Beazley

Colonial Cottage is of the late Georgian style, but as Victorian architecture and design was prevalent at the time it was build (1858), I thought it was relevant to do some investigation in this area. Besides, the more architectural photography of crowded rooms I can find, the better.

There is a fireplace in the living room, and a hearth in the kitchen and wash room. While I would like to document these elements, a straight on shot like those above does little to set scene, and therefore is not a road I intend to go down at this juncture.

The rooms themselves are very crowded, as you will see when I put up my room plans in a second. This limits the number of angles I can get when I'm shooting.

How cool is this bookcase/curtain bed!!

Don't worry, that isn't the only reason I've included it in, I'm thinking about cropping, how much of an object, such as a bed, is it necessary to include?

The kitchen table in the cottage is similarly crowded.

Just thinking about angles again.
