DREAM JOB Matthew Marsden Furniture
Some jobs can be a real pain in the neck or maybe I should say difficult. Several factors contribute to a successful shoot and usually you would be lucky if one or two are perfect. However I recently had a commission which was just first class in every way which is very rare!
Matthew Marsden Furniture asked me to photograph one of their kitchens for magazine ads and sales brochures.
Arriving in Dalton early my contact Sue Marsden was not on site. So I was greeted by the very pleasant Mr and Mrs Leigh the owners of a splendid farmhouse conversion. I was then shown the Kitchen I was to photograph. Having a background in property developing I quickly realised that I was to photograph something rather special. Simply put the kitchen was outstanding in design, build quality and finish. I certainly had not seen anything quite like it before. In addition when Sue and then later Matthew arrived they were both extremely nice and after a quick chat about their requirements I was just left to get on with the job. The room was also full of natural light and I used my new Canon 1Ds Mk2 for the first time.
The result was I spent twice the time on the job as I was paid for and the customer received the best images of a kitchen I have probably ever produced.

Matthew trained with his father as a carpenter and joiner and an entrepreneur from an early age sold his hand build cabinets in his mother’s DIY shop. Designing kitchens for his fathers new build houses Matthew was often told that furniture he had drafted could not be made by his manufacturers. He therefore decided to start manufacturing his own and Matthew Marsden Furniture was born. Matthew says “we take great pride in what we produce and I believe our kitchen furniture is the best available.
David Price says “I have never seen anything like it”
