Oak Grove

A photo shoot of a lovely Mediterranean inspired house in less than optimal conditions. The coverage shows the different moods of the same view taken in different lighting as well as the use of the "sky pole cam" to capture a difficult expanse of back yard and house.

The client requested both a daylight front exterior curb view shot and a twilight shot of the house. The subject matter is the same but the mood is entirely different. Some additional lighting was necessary. Peter D'Aprix Photographer

The light was not ideal for this style house. The sun was weak. So I included the sky from a pre-production walk through shot. Peter D'Aprix Photographer

In shooting real estate, I find often less than ideal circumstances. The client wanted a shot of the front of the house including the fountain and the entrance walk. But the fountain was not working and the water was brown. So I chose an angle where the top of the fountain was a bit obscured by the...

At eye level or even normal ladder level, this scene was all about the grass and the pool and guest house disappeared in the distance. The solution was the use of the "sky pole cam" which raised the camera position up to about 21 feet allowing the grass to roll under the camera and picked up the...

As with the front, the back of the house on the day of the shoot found us with a thin over cast instead of the desired sun. But for landscapes that include structural elements, that is not always a bad thing. This shot allowed the graphic design of the landscape designer to take precedence over the...

I was asked to return to the property to take a few more shots of the back garden, pool and guest house. This shot demonstrates just how much the punch of sun light gives visual dynamics to a shot of Mediterranean inspired architecture and especially the aqua of pools that reflect the blue of the...

When pool lighting is well designed and working (often it does not in real estate work), the pool and the pool structures take on a whole new look and it can be very effective and arresting especially with a pool structure, in this case the guest house, reflecting its lights into the pool. Peter...

A shot from above with a living area with high ceilings can often convey what an eye level shot does not. However, this is a situation where correcting the extremes of parallax distortion would rob the view of its impact. Peter D'Aprix Photographer

What a high view shot like that 2 photos back does not capture is the beamed ceiling. So an eye level shot is also necessary. Peter D'Aprix Photographer

This covered patio space was connected to the kitchen. To show the kitchen so it would stand out as strongly as possible, an evening shot worked best. Peter D'Aprix Photographer

This indoor/outdoor situation was a study in extremes of exposure. It required use of HDR exposure and much work in Photoshop in post production to balance the lighting. Peter D'Aprix Photographer
