Ok this was a Castle on a Golf course, I have 350 photos of this "Premier Pool Builder of Northern Califronia" house, $3.4M, 6400 sq ft.

 

Classic example of wrong time of day to shoot THIS room, you'll juuust notice the edge of the 800 sq ft outdoor kitchen (next to pool) just outside those blown-out doors...I would have worked two shoots but owners coming home at dusk and had plans, moody cheeseball Realtor.

 

I realized so much at this shoot, mainly, I need a lot of lights for giant rooms like this, second, time of day IS THAT important, third, schedule two separate shoots, four - charge more. This should be a $1000 shoot with lighting and two visits.

 

Other photos coming soon to their own set on my stream, most are pretty good, but, wrong time of day, too early. Would have preferred something else on the kitchen table than that ho-hum fern, although the dining room was all Savrosky Crystal and fine china. I also got lost in the house - first time ever. Now that's big!

 

Phat house though, the Saline pool with rock grotto cost 300k just to build, but they ruined it with a small-ish dark dark kitchen and white banister!

 

just realized my camera focused on lower left chair, jeez..go full size to see the issues argh

 

Calling all lighting pros - where would you place the strobes? Thanks
