Behind The Scenes...

Susie Watson Designs is about making beautiful handmade products for the home.
Susie designs all the time; she can switch from a glass vase to tweed fabric, to new wallpaper ideas in the space of a few minutes!

The most important thing for us is to make sure that you can see the quality, skill and effort that goes into the making of these products.

We invest heavily in great photography, so we thought you might like to see what goes on behind the beautiful images you see. These are some sneak shots of a recent shoot which took place in Susie’s house.

Internal rooms are always quite tricky. As well as constantly moving light levels, it’s always a challenge to get full width room sets into a narrow shot, and usually takes quite a bit of juggling.

We always have to factor in the dog element. All three of Susie’s dogs are very excited by the arrival of all these strange people and the movement of their home whilst the shoot is in full flow.

Monty however doesn’t really see why anything and everything shouldn’t be tested for comfort.

He was very taken with the beautiful Duck egg sofa shot, which he felt showed him off to his full advantage, and wasn’t moving until he had a decent shot of himself taken.

Night shots can be stunning if they are successful – for those of you who have tried night photography, I’m sure you will see the skill behind this shot.

Waiting until just the right time of the evening when day light ends and night takes over we shot repetitive images to make sure we hit just the right amount of darkness. The result shows it was well worth the wait.

Along with our new zoom facility on our website, we very much hope you enjoy shopping our products, and feel we provide you with the best view we can before you buy!
