Photography by Ben Murphy

I have found the difficulty in producing beautiful interior photographs is the lack of personality or charm of a room. My photographs of home interiors all have this 70s quirky charm or some interesting color combinations. My question is how do you make generic office/dorm/institution-like spaces worth looking at?

I came across Ben Murphy's photographs of the UN Building. The rooms itself is nothing of the ordinary but with lighting and the way Murphy composes each image, it pops. Make the generic the focus of the room.

My somewhat sadistic photo professor (who knows about this blog....i still dont know how i feel about that) is making me shoot at a frat house. Indulging me in my voyeuristic tendencies whenever I go to people's homes, this project will be tough...snooping thru frat houses and individual rooms of people i have never met (or even avoid)..and finding time for friend's to find friend's in frats to let me in.. I'm somewhat socially inept when it comes to people completely on the opposite end of me so it'll be a challenge.
