Kitchen, through the camera: lens 64 inches off the floor, tilted down 7.0 degrees, 16 millimeter lens, at 10:00 a.m. Pendants off, blinds open. Vertical lines lean outward toward the top of the frame. The edges of the frame stretch.

Why counter height?
We shoot kitchens with the camera at counter height and level. Same room, same morning light, two camera positions:
- 01
Height
From counter height, about 36 to 42 inches off the floor, the countertop collapses into a single clean edge and the island stops blocking the room. From eye level you look down on every surface, and the room shrinks.
- 02
Level
Tilt the camera a few degrees and every vertical leans: door frames, cabinet edges, the corners of the room. We keep the camera level and let the height do the framing.
- 03
Lens
A very wide lens fits more in, but it stretches the edges and makes the room read bigger than it is, and the photograph no longer matches the walk-through. We use a lens that shows the room the way it feels to stand in it.
