Moody Photography

Artwork can create a particular ambience, recall memory and create a stylish feature in even the most plain of interior spaces. This season MOODY PHOTOGRAPHY is set to be the favoured choice of artwork for both modern and classic home interiors and will create a real statement on a feature wall, oak furniture item or stairway to provide visual detail and impact.

Moody photography is all about choosing the right colour scheme and content. Black and white and sepia-coloured photographs work well with this look as they create a deep and dramatic look within your chosen space. If you wish to create an elegant and glamorous feel in your home interior then why not opt for a selection of black and white portraits featuring dramatic and emotional poses or nudes that will look particularly stylish in a monochrome interior space. For a softer and more delicate mood then opt for vintage sepia portraits that will create a stylish focal point with more period styles of interior designs. These styles of photos look great hung in a grouped or gallery style formation on the main wall or running up the length of a stairway or corridor. They can also be framed and placed on a bedside table, oak side table or oak sideboard for a more scattered interior appearance.

If you are more of a lover of nature and landscapes then these make a perfect choice for moody photographs and can be easily taken with your own phone or camera in your local area or on a day trip or holiday. Trees make a great subject for photographs of this genre. Opt for enclosed woodland areas, old and spindly trees or lone trees that will create a dark and mysterious look displayed in a greyscale or black and white finish. Beaches are also an ideal subject for moody landscape photography. Whether its choppy seas or calm oceans this subject matter will work well in black and white and sepia finishes that will coordinate with your interior style. Landscape photography also looks fabulously hung in a group formation but can also create a real statement as a single large canvas or a printed wall mural for added impact.

If your passion for interior design also stretches to photography then why not try snapping some images of famous interior spaces, from palaces and stately homes to museums, art galleries and churches or more personal images such as your family homes, local pubs, cafes and shops. These image choices can be displayed in simple black and white or can be altered into abstract or vintage style designs using a variety of photographic apps that will allow you to create a masterpiece from your snapshots. You can display these images in a living room, bedroom or dressing room area, while cafe or pub images will look great as a gallery wall in a kitchen or dining room and can be interspersed with wall decals for added visual detail on a plain feature wall.
