This was a real estate shoot for Nourmand & Associates along with Solomon Group Estate at a home in the Hollywood hills. The front of the home was very misleading, as it hid the true size of the property from the outside. Thankfully, I had done my homework and knew what to expect on the inside...

...a gorgeous celebrity-owned, Mediterranean-style home where you entered onto the third story from the front door. It was lived in, but very clean and had striking features. What a fun place to photograph!

I would've loved a couple more hours to photograph this place. The master bed and bathroom were fantastic. Every single room had a breath taking view of Hollywood and its neighboring hills.

Well I got my wish in a way. Due to restrictive scheduling, the time of day they had scheduled the photography session for - while providing wonderful light for almost every room in the house - resulted in some difficulty for the front exterior shots. The sun was in the worst possible place, casting unattractive and harsh shadows. The agents agreed and we negotiated a return visit for a twilight session.

The only angle safe from the sun and its shadows, but not the best angle for the house.
The beginning of the twilight session - still way too early!
Setting up for twilight - the sun is almost there!

The second visit paid off with a very beautiful, pastel-colored exterior photograph.
