Foshan furniture photography is rather popular for me at the moment; the city is essentially a suburb of Guangzhou, where I'm based, and it's status as a world manufacturing hub for sofas, chairs, and other furnishings draws a global audience of buyers keen to make their fortunes exporting from China.

Large furniture are a bit tricky to transport off-site for photography so I end up traveling to Foshan with a van full of photo equipment to set up a portable studio in factory showrooms. Moving bulky arm chairs on and off a white background all day is definitely hard work but is much easier than moving a container load of furnishings to an off-site studio.
