Outdoor Living Captured for Barlow Tyrie Furniture

This commissioned lifestyle photography project for Barlow Tyrie, a premium UK furniture brand, took place across two very different locations. The first was Concrete House in Essex, where we were fortunate to photograph the homeowners and their children, avoiding the need for models. Using both natural sunlight and a large cinema light to simulate the warm glow of sunset, we captured a range of authentic lifestyle content that highlighted Barlow Tyrie’s elegant outdoor furniture in a relaxed, homely setting. The second location, a beautifully restored property in Sussex, offered a stunning garden and pool, perfect for showcasing the brand’s luxury furniture in a natural environment. In addition to stills, we also shot moving images and incorporated drone footage, creating a dynamic and immersive visual story for Barlow Tyrie’s advertising campaign.
