A Paris facade shimmers in a puddle.

Between setups at a client shoot, we looked down instead of up, and spotted a Haussmann building facade, dancing across the surface of a puddle in the street. A gentle breeze stretched and scintillated the stone with every ripple.

Paris has been painted, photographed, and filmed more than any city on earth. Sometimes the fresh angle is the one at your feet.

On location in Paris, we took some shots of the Place des Victoires: Louis XIV on his bronze horse, the Haussmann facades curving around the square, morning light gilding the stone.

In the foreground, three crowned lantern heads swim in and out of focus, demonstrating the incredible depth of field the iPhone captures.

No rig, no crew, just a quick look across the square, on the way to set, as the morning sun warms the facades.

Paris, just before the day begins.

On location for a client shoot, we captured the moment when golden morning light breaks across a Haussmann boulevard, illuminating mansard roofs and iron balconies, the stone turning amber, the sky soft pink, and the glow of a new day beckoning us to the vanishing point.

Before the call sheet starts, before the grip truck arrives, before anyone picks up a camera, the city gives you this.

New rule on set: if the client has a Segway, the Creative Director has to try it.

On location at the Tai Ping production facility in Xiamen, we talked Ed Nammour, Milkbox's Creative Director, into stepping onto the two-wheel scooter that staff use to zip around the finishing floor.

With his pass badge and shot list hanging from his lanyard, Ed was up for giving the Segway a go, especially with our in-house expert, Tyler, spotting him from the side and talking him through the balance point.

At Milkbox, this is literally how we roll.

The best moments on a shoot don't always make the final cut, but they make our day.

🎬 Setting up a multi-camera interview inside a Brooklyn studio covered in hand-painted murals.

We visited Callidus Guild in Brooklyn to sit down with Yolande Milan Batteau, whose handmade wall coverings have earned a devoted following among the world's top designers. Tai Ping commissioned her to create a collection that brings her painterly aesthetic to carpet, and we were there to capture the story behind the collaboration.

Her studio doubles as a gallery for her large-scale murals, which became the perfect backdrop for the interview. With samples of her work surrounding the set, every frame tells a story before a single word was spoken.

Building a three-camera interview in a working art studio takes coordination: positioning the key light without casting shadows on the murals, rigging diffusion panels around an easel-cluttered floor, and making sure the monitors show a composed frame against all that color.

Here's a look at how it came together:

→ The crew positions cameras and the key light as Janelle and Juliana look on, Yolande’s murals filling the backdrop
→ Yolande gets final touches before the interview, camera monitors glowing with the composed shot
→ Andrew conducts the interview while the crew captures from multiple angles, diffusion panels framing the set
→ The full team in front of Yolande's murals (R - L): Janelle, Tyler, Zac, Ed, Juliana, Yolande, Vincent, Andrew, and Henry

One artist's studio, one story to tell, and just enough room to fit the cameras between the murals.

🎬 Inside the Paris design studio of Pierre-Yves Rochon, where some of the world's finest hotel interiors begin.

Our Paris shoot brought us to the offices of Pierre-Yves Rochon, the legendary interior designer whose work graces hotels like the Four Seasons George V.

Tai Ping carpets are woven into his projects as carefully as every other finish he selects. We were there to capture how he thinks about materials, craft, and the details that define a space.

Rochon welcomed us into his private office first, surrounded by art and elegant furniture. The crew worked around the room's ornate layout, rigging diffusion panels between fiddle-leaf figs and designer chairs.

Then he walked us into his materials studio, where shelves of fabric samples, project archives, and flat file drawers lined the walls. This is where the real work happens, and where we set up for the interview.

Here's a look at the shoot:

→ Ed and Zac in conversation in the designer's private office, framed artwork and Parisian balcony windows behind them
→ Ed seated in position as Andrew and Zac set up the camera next toa diffusion panel providing fill lighting
→ The crew gathers around white orchids to discuss the setup
→ Ed in the materials studio, project archives and fabric samples lining the shelves,
→ Tyler on boom, Janelle on camera, and Zac frames a tight shot shot as Rochon presents his work at the studio table

From a quiet conversation in an elegant Paris office to the bright lights of the materials studio, every frame captured a designer in his element.

Before the cameras roll, our shoots start with meticulous preparation.

Getting ready for our interview with Dicky Bannenberg meant transforming his working design studio into a film set: tucking cameras into side offices, rigging through glass partitions, and making sure our subject looked his best on camera.

Bannenberg & Rowell's offices are a designer's dream, vaulted ceilings, model planes overhead, yacht blueprints lining the shelves, and the legacy of Jon Bannenberg, the founding father of yacht design, woven into every corner.

Take a look behind the scenes:

→ Dicky gets camera-ready as the makeup artist preps him for the interview.
→ One of our cameras, tucked into a side office, frames the interview space through a glass partition.
→ The Bannenberg & Rowell studio stretches out beneath skylights, a vintage biplane model hanging overhead.

There's a certain energy to shooting in a space where real creative work happens every day. You can feel it in every frame.

Two London design studios, one legendary family name, and the materials that tie it all together.

Our London shoot took us inside two firms where Tai Ping carpets are an essential part of their design process. First, a visit to Winch Design, founded by Andrew Winch, where Jim Dixon and his team design private jet interiors that demand the finest finishes available.

Then we crossed town to Bannenberg & Rowell for a sit-down with Dicky Bannenberg. Dicky's father, Jon Bannenberg, is acknowledged as the father of modern yacht design, having shaped some of the most celebrated interiors afloat, including work on the QE2.

Dicky laid out his full palette of materials — Tai Ping carpets alongside fabrics, woods, wall coverings, and paint samples — to walk us through how every finish is chosen for a superyacht interior.

As Edward Fields famously observed, the floor is the fifth wall. And when you're designing at this level, every surface needs to be a work of art.

Here's a look at the studios and the shoot:

→ Ed and Lucy Bodenham at the Winch Design showroom, surrounded by yacht and aircraft models
→ A Canada Dry ad starring Jon Bannenberg, the father of yacht design, on the wall at Bannenberg & Rowell
→ The open studio at Bannenberg & Rowell, model planes overhead and workstations below
→ Ed and Tyler set up the interview space, Dicky's material samples covering the conference table
→ The crew in action: Tyler on boom, Janelle on camera, Zac framing the shot as Dicky walks us through the work
→ An overhead look at the materials: Tai Ping carpets, fabrics, wood, and wall coverings
→ Decades of yacht design blueprints rolled and labeled on the Bannenberg & Rowell shelves

Whether it’s jet cabins or superyacht staterooms, the world's top designers know: every detail matters, from floor to ceiling.

🎬 Two cities, one iconic hotel brand, and a whole lot of gear to unload.

When you're documenting Tai Ping's work across the Peninsula Hotels, you don't just show up with a camera. You show up with a crew, a van full of equipment, and (if you're Ed) the storyboards clipped to your lanyard.

Our shoot took us from the rooftops of the Peninsula Paris — where L'Oiseau Blanc serves dinner with a view of the Eiffel Tower — to the stainless-steel-clad cocktail bars of the Peninsula London, where vintage racing memorabilia and Tai Ping carpet share the floor.

Paris gave us golden hour on a balcony, lobby staff in crisp whites, and the controlled chaos of a crew unloading at a service entrance. London gave us a restaurant with a jet suspended from the ceiling, a bar built around vintage race cars, and a CEO getting his makeup done in a quiet suite overlooking the city.

Here's what it looked like from our side of the camera:

→ Dinner service at L'Oiseau Blanc, the Eiffel Tower framed through the glass canopy above
→ Janelle lines up a shot from the restaurant balcony, a vintage Levasseur biplane in the foreground
→ The crew unloads equipment at the Peninsula Paris service entrance — Tyler, Ed, Zac, Gabriel, and Roman
→ Peninsula Paris lobby assistants in their classic whites and gold buttons
→ The London Peninsula restaurant: sculptural ceiling, blue celestial Tai Ping carpet, and not a guest in sight
→ Inside the aviation-themed lounge — riveted metal walls, vintage trunks, and that unmistakable Tai Ping pattern underfoot
→ The cocktail bar at the London Peninsula, anchored by a stylized racing "8" on the bar front
→ Mark Worgan, CEO, getting makeup done before his interview in the Peninsula suites

Two hotels, two countries, one thread connecting them: the subtle sophistication and elegance that makes a Peninsula a Peninsula, no matter where it's located.

How we captured the beauty and atmosphere of one of the world's most iconic hotels.

The Peninsula Hong Kong is more than a unique luxury hotel, it's the architectural embodiment of the Kadoorie family's legacy.

Founded by Sir Elly Kadoorie and named for the Kowloon Peninsula where it stands, The Peninsula has been synonymous with refinement since 1928. The Kadoorie family still owns everything top to bottom: the property, the brand, the fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms often spotted at the front entrance.

For this shoot, we brought a three-camera crew into the sun-drenched lobby restaurant, where Tai Ping carpets grace the floors and natural light pours through expansive arched windows.

Our one goal was to capture the refined atmosphere that makes The Peninsula unlike any other hotel in the world: the honeyed glow of hushed refinement, a serene and stately retreat from the bustle of downtown Hong Kong.

Check out this rare insider's view of how we set up some of the shots in this storied, soaring space:

→ Three cameras capture the moment the talent is illuminated by natural light
→ Soft daylight, Tai Ping carpet, a moment of quiet service
→ Zac walks the set, reading the light beneath soaring arches
→ The final frame: columns, palms, and two figures in motion

This is what happens when history meets craftsmanship, both in front of and behind the camera.
