New York! New York!

I recently had the opportunity to travel to New York for the first time in my life! I had so much fun and now seeing Time Square is one thing I can check off my list of things I would like to do in my lifetime! My trip was mainly for business purposes. I was asked by a friend of the family to photograph her home and build a real estate website to help her market and sell her home. Up to this point I have only ever photographed people so I wasn't really sure if this is something I could do. After some thought, I said what the heck and decided to try it out.

In doing some research for this project I discovered a whole world of real estate photography. I never knew before now that this industry ever existed. There are so many techniques involved with photographing a home (the right way) that I never imagined. Before taking the trip I was thinking how hard can it really be to take photographs of a room in house.

OMG! Was I wrong. The details involved with de-cluttering, cleaning, and lighting make photographing real estate extremely harder than I thought. My hats go off to the professionals that photograph homes beautifully!

Long story short, the clients was happy and I had a great time learning a new craft. Here is a story board of images from the shoot. Enjoy!
