This week’s Photo of the Week was shot by our Seattle-based photographer Robert Lawton! He traveled outside of his local area and shot this impressive community room at Block 32 at RiNo in Denver, CO.
Robert really captures the modern design and vibrant color scheme of this community room! He also manages to find a unique angle (against the windows) to capture as much of the space and its features as possible: the lounge, game room, fireplace, and TV area. “This photo really stands out as exceptional,” remarks Casey Sachen (Manager of Photography, Eastern Region), “because it shows off the large size of the game room.” Vern Steinman agrees: “Robert’s image shows not only the wide area of the room, but the exposure lets you see into the areas that make up the club house.”
Robert also used the room’s “leading lines” to pull the viewer’s eyes throughout the space and make it a more compelling photograph. For example, the lines of the furniture edges in the foreground coupled with the face of the fireplace lead the eye to the TV room, where the column then leads the eye to the high, colorful walls, which then lead you to the game area, etc. This makes the photo dynamic and active, and draws attention to different areas of the space instead of toward just one subject.
Finally, Robert’s composition plays an important role in showcasing the room. “By placing it in the foreground of his photo,” says Casey, “Robert invites you to come and sit by the fireplace. This gives renters a solid idea of what they can potentially come home to.”
