I wouldn't mind having this as my kitchen, would you?

Most of the time, we tend to pop a wide-angle lens on our camera to get a shot of a space like this, but that won't work here. We don't need to see everything to get a feel for the space, so in fact, the closer we get, the better. Instead of a wide shot, we tighten in with a 24-70mm, right around 35mm. Now 35mm may not seem very tight, but when you're capturing a space as opposed to a person, it's actually very tight. The added advantage of shooting at 35mm is that the countertops are compressed to appear almost like they would in reality. If we're shooting wide, the countertops appear wide - if we shoot tight, we get closer to what our eyes see.
