Inspired by a visual brief, we custom designed and manufactured a plexi-glass room that could be quickly built and deconstructed given the tight timeline on location. We had one hour to set up and then one hour to photograph the star-studded cast. To capture the themes that The Staircase touches upon, we used lighting and the lines of the furniture to simultaneously reveal and obscure our subjects. Our team of retouchers then worked through the night to deliver images for immediate posting.
