POP-UP stands for temporary architecture. It turned architects' heads and became an example of specific architectural hooliganism. The most interesting thing about this format is the possibility to use non-standard tools and methods. For architects it is a search for quick and non-standard solutions, an opportunity to use simple and affordable materials, and for the client it is a way to tell about their space a little before the permanent project is completed.
I have already written a blog post on What it means to be an interior photographer in Dubai.
Now I would like to tell you about one of my favourite interior photography shoots. If we talk about interior photography of private apartments, there is usually no time limit and you have the whole day at your disposal, but in the case of restaurant interior photography, time is usually limited. To have time to photograph everything, it is often necessary to start shooting early in the morning, long before the restaurant opens. And then, as a rule, 4-5 hours are allocated for interior photography of a restaurant. Depending on the object and the interior, this time can be enough, and sometimes it is catastrophically short. There are cases when you have to shoot the interior of the restaurant several times.

This time I had 4 hours for the whole interior photography and I had to hurry. Of course, if I had more time, I would have got more interesting shots, but even in such a limited time I managed to shoot the whole interior of the restaurant.
The key to a successful interior shoot is always good preparation beforehand. I've even written a small manual on how to properly prepare for architectural and interior photography.
