Room with a View
I’m really busy and didn’t take time to look for a personal picture to post today as I typically do. I figured this image from an assignment I shot on Tuesday was worth posting here instead.
Color and Texture
One of the reasons I love spending time in the southwest with a camera is because I love to work with color and texture and these ingredients are found together there in abundance.
Latest Magazine Cover
I love to shoot during the blue hour after sunset and it’s become one of the specialties that I’m known for in the luxury home market. In addition to the cover I have dozens of images printed throughout the magazine including several more of this home. A different set of my images from this home is being published both inside and on the cover of a duPont Registry magazine in early 2013 as well.
Hello Dali
I felt it wouldn’t be inappropriate to get “artistic” with this image that I took while I was outside the Salvador Dali Museum last week.
Bright Lights
I photographed this brightly illuminated house on a foggy evening last week. The motion of the fog that was above the house made an interesting sky backdrop in this scene due to the long time exposures that I combined for this image.
Twilight View
Today I’m posting something from a current project. This image is one from a recent shoot that is a possibility for the cover of an upcoming issue of the duPont Registry.
Deals on Wheels
I knew at the time I photographed this that I wanted to do an artistic treatment with it. I took the time last night to work with it and get it to look like what I envisioned in the first place.
Another Cover Shot
The next issue of Luxury Home magazine is going to press now and this image of mine is the cover. In addition to this I have also already shot the cover for the issue that will follow after that.
Busy
For the first time in a very long time I missed posting here for a few days. It’s simply because I have been shooting so much for clients that I am too busy continuously processing images to meet deadlines to stop and take the time to post here. For today I am posting an image I shot on one of my recent assignments just to break my streak of not posting.
Evening at the Pool
Just a night shot from the same photo session by the same pool as the food shot from yesterday.
Sparkle
Another artistic detail shot I made while photographing an interior the other day. The out of focus reflection of the chandelier in the mirror was my dose of eye candy for the day.
The Little Things
So even though I have been so busy that I have only been shooting for clients lately I still find things that catch my my artistic eye while I’m working. This is a detail of a kitchen countertop I photographed in a home this weekend.
Up in the Air
I took my new aerial shooting rig out again yesterday. This 3-story home was a good challenge to see how it would handle at maximum height. It’s a bit harder to handle but it looks like the results are worth the effort.
Elevated Perspective
I designed and built a remote-control high-angle camera rig this weekend and had the chance to test it out on yesterday’s real estate shoot. Unlike some setups I’ve seen that are designed for little point and shoot cameras my rig uses a real DSLR shooting RAW files for maximum image quality. It gave me a unique perspective in these images of the back yard and garage of the property I was covering. The rig can actually go much higher but I discovered that if you get too much higher than this the compositions start to show too much rooftop and not enough of the walls. In case you are curious I can tell you that inside this garage I counted 10 cars, an RV, and a motorcycle.
More Kitchen Pics
Here are some more – though not all of the photos I took in the kitchen of this home last week. The thumbnails below are cropped, click to view the full image.
Modern Living
So I’m back to posting images from work I’ve been doing for clients. This is from a set I did last week of a house with a very stylized interior.
Another View
Yesterday I posted a view of the pool so I figured today I may as well post an image of the front of the house.
