My mom needed some photography done in a pinch. She's the design manager at Glen Raven Inc., manufactures of Sunbrella fabric, a high-end interior and exterior upholstery fabric. She was asked by a furniture trade magazine for images of a certain type of samples booklet for an article on why those particular booklets should be included in retail stores.

These are a few of the images I submitted. I don't know which will be chosen for the article, but I imagine it'll be one of the more straight-forward shots.

The setup was to show the booklets as if they were being used to match fabric colors and paterns to paint chips and other materials found in an exsisting room, or one being designed. Then the client or designer could then purchise custom upholstered furniture to their exact taistes and preferences.

The lighting was very simple, mostly diffused window light plus some fill flash.
