Creates Feature: That's one reason why the feature photography field remains comparatively uncrowded, despite its obvious advantages over spot news coverage. It's easier for the cameraman to come up to the standards of news photography than to those of feature photography. There are many photographers perfectly capable of doing features, and who would like to do them, who never get into the field for the simple reason that they don't ever see the opportunities all around them for feature pictures. They lack the knack, something akin to the "nose for news" mentioned in the previous chapter, to recognize feature picture material.
All the accessories in this small hall earn their space by providing storage. Some galvanised stacking boxes create an imaginative phone table, which can also double up as storage for phone directories. A shiny silver shoe rack stashes shoes away and ties in with the smart metallic look, while a hatstand creates feature a feature in a jiffy and provides plenty of useful storage. Final simple decorative touches are the spot rugs, creating a splash of coordinating pink on the Floor and some instant feel appeal.
A high dado rail around the room - a classic Thirties feature - divides up the walls, and different coloured paints draw attention to it. Above, the walls are white, while below a thin strip of palest green creates feature a pretty border around the room. Thirties interiors often features borders and lines of paintwork, which have the effect of framing a room. The green chosen here matches the green on the original Dresser -a nice touch. Below is a soft cream - warm, sunny, practical. |
