Best time

Sunrise, Morning, Late afternoon, Midnight+
Come photograph at the Laundry House any month of the year.
It’s open 24/7. The busiest hours are around lunch time (12pm-2pm) and after office hours (5pm-8pm) so avoid those times for a more relaxing environment.

Field tips

If you photograph for too long or look like you’re disturbing others, the attendant may ask what you’re up to. Be mindful.
Get creative with your model! The dimly lit environment makes for great raw and edgy images.
Since the environment is dimly lit consider using flash support.
