Eymeric Widling: What Interiors Photography Really Takes
There’s no one way to build a creative career—and this week’s guest proves that beautifully. On this episode of Artist Date, host Nicole Romanoff sits down with Calgary-based architecture and interiors photographer Eymeric Widling, whose unconventional path into photography took him from journalism school, to the world of car culture, and eventually into designing magazine-worthy interior images.
Whether you’re an emerging photographer, a creative stuck in comparison, or someone exploring your own niche, this episode is a masterclass in following your instincts and trusting your evolution—even when the path isn't linear.
We explore:
Why Eymeric left journalism and fell in love with image crafting over image capturing
How photographing tuner cars became the perfect training ground for lighting interiors
The difference between shooting for architects, builders, and interior designers
His exact tools, tilt-shift lenses, and behind-the-scenes editing process
Why he avoids trends, sticks to what works, and chooses to slow down
This isn’t just about shooting beautiful spaces—it’s about building a career that reflects who you are.
Key Quotes From Eymeric:
“There are so many different ways to get from A to Z—and the best way is probably not the one someone else took.”
“I think of what I do as crafting images, not just capturing them.”
“What works for someone else’s business, gear, or style doesn’t always translate. Know yourself, and build from there.”
“My clients aren’t just hiring me to take a photo of a room. They’re hiring me to show how that room feels.”
“Sometimes the best frame isn’t the perfect view—it’s the perfect story.”
