Interior photography at Quicken Loans

Most people would expect the offices of a mortgage company to be in that very conservative “financial industry” style. You know the look; gray offices, dark wood desks & employees in dark business suits.

Apparently the people at Quicken Loans have not read “ The Financial Services Industry Interior Design Guide”.

Quicken Loans Detroit offices in the Compuware Building bare little resemblance to the typical mortgage company, which made my job of interior photography much more fun!

Because of the tight deadline for the interior photography, my assistant and I had to begin shooting while the construction crews were still at work. This did make things a little more complicated, but with help from the marketing director and his assistant, we were able to get all of the necessary shots completed in one day.

To add color and interest to the interior, a local graffiti artist was hired to add graphics to some of the exposed concrete floor areas. We were told that all of the employees in the mailroom are all members of local rock bands (lots of tattoos and piercings).

We were able to produce some of the images using only available light, then layer masking in post to control contrast. Strobes bounced into white umbrellas were used when the available light alone would not give us the results that we needed.

Overall; a fun and very colorful architectural photography project!
