The proprietors David and Judi who have an established outlet in Windsor have been working hard in opening their sister restaurant \u2018Castello\u2019. The building was previously a restaurant but fell into decline and has been empty for ten months, but now has a new lease of life. \u2018Castello\u2019 offers a warm welcome with an extensive Italian menu and wine list. Alternative was asked to photograph the restaurant that has had a complete overhaul to bring it to the standard that David and Judi excel.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-1-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-172\" title=\"Castello Restaurant\" src=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-1-copy-598x405.jpg\" alt=\"Interior photography by Alternative Images\" width=\"598\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-1-copy-598x405.jpg 598w, https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-1-copy-442x300.jpg 442w, https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-1-copy.jpg 1488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As a <a title=\"corporate photographer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alternativeimages.co.uk\/corporate.html\">corporate<\/a> photographer I wanted to capture images that reflect the interior colour scheme and lighting that give the areas a calm relaxed feel. Even when the restaurant is buzzing the feeling of space is present. The different seating arrangements can produce a moody, cosy feel or a bright open air ambience with a large daylight light conservatory. The seating arrangement can create space for larger groups or quiet romantic hideaways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-2-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-173\" title=\"Castello Interiors \" src=\"https:\/\/alternativeimages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Castello-2-copy-598x420.jpg\" alt=\"Promotional Interior Images\" width=\"598\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I photographed the <a title=\"Interiors\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alternativeimages.co.uk\/interiorexterior.html\">interior<\/a> using available light with a minimal flash so as to capture the soft wall lighting and all the warm colours of the furniture.
