Seattle Photographer Daniel Sheehan

I just found out that the July/August issue of  Seattle Homes & Lifestyles Magazine is running my architectural photography of the Madrona Modern home I photographed for Seattle interior designer Robin Chell of Robin Chell Design and  architects David Bennett and Kim Lavacot of Bennett Lavacot Architecture. In fact they have chosen the above picture for the cover of the magazine. It was a beautiful and sophisticated house to photograph with a quiet, simple elegance.

Today is the first day of June and the opening of an exhibition of a dozen panoramic urban landscapes at SRG Gallery in Seattle. I will publish some of them here over the course of the exhibition which will be up until the end of July. This first one was taken in New York City in January 2010. I love the view of Times Square from the air. Later on I will publish the panorama I took at ground level in Times Square. Other pictures were taken in Seattle, Paris and Prague.
SRG Gallery is located at 110 Union Street, Suite 300, Seattle across the street from the Seattle Art Museum. Photography by Daniel Sheehan who creates photographic solutions for publications and corporations and a Seattle Wedding Photographer with an artistic photojournalist style.

Recently I made some photographs of a residence in the Madrona neighborhood of Seattle for the new website of Bennett Lavacot Architecture. The interior design was by Robin Chell Design. The owners of the house was thinking of moving to a new house they were going to build and were in discussion for the new design. After a fire destroyed some of the old house they were persuaded to rebuild on the same lot and this wonderful home was the result of the work of David and Kim of Bennett Lavacot Architecture and the owners of the property.

The first floor has this great open floor plan from the front where the living room through the dining room to the kitchen which opens into a private courtyard.

A marvelous detail of the fireplace.

The first floor powder room.

Stairs going up the the second level.

All in all a great place in a beautiful neighborhood.

I had the chance to again work with Seattle interior designer Robin Chell of Robin Chell Design, this time photographing a lobby of an apartment building in Redmond, Washington. It was a difficult space to shoot. It had a compact floor plan but extended up three stories. In the photo here I resorted to shooting a number of vertical exposures and then stitching them together in photoshop into one photo.
The barrel distortion was inevitable but I like the way it shows the space without resorting to a fisheye lens.

There is something so magical that happens after dark when you turn on the lights and balance the nightime sky with the interior lighting.

Here is the most recent photo from my shoot of Seatle homes for the Seattle interior designer Robin Chell Design. This is quite a modern kitchen but has a great feeling. I would love to hang out there with the golden retriever out on the deck.

It is good to remember that not all wonderful photographs of houses are shot at sunset. A little bit later can be quite nice too.
