Applecross Renovation

Last week I shot this home renovation for Matthews Architecture. The Modern extension features a large curved roof flowing from the alfresco to the sitting room that is flooded with natural daylight in the afternoon. The extension also comprises of a new kitchen, lounge and a free standing pool room. See photos from the shoot below.

Monier Roof Tiles

This week I was required to hire a cherry picker to shoot a 9 unit development in Baldivis for Monier roof tiles. A 12m Cherry picker was towed into positioned early Monday morning and lifted to full height as you can see in this behind the scene photo.

After waiting for some clouds to pass I managed to get a few images in good mourning light.

Oswald Swanbloune Residence

Here is a comparison between daylight and a dusk elevation from a shoot this week. Most clients prefer a twilight external image as it generally has more appeal. What do you think?

South West Photoshoot

Last week took me to Cowaramup, a 3.5 hour drive south of Perth for a stunning beach side residence. The home built by Zorzi Builders takes advantage of the spectacular 180 degree views, no expense was spared on this luxurious residence from the home theatre to the huge cave like cellar to the glass pyramid roof. This is the main house on the lot though Zorzi builders also built the guest house that you can rent out for $1000.00 a night. We shot the guest house last year and it won the HIA Australian house of the year, you can check out those photos at http://www.incognitoescape.com.au/ Here are some photos from this shoot.

CTA Building

External photography was required of the CTA building on the Esplanade in Perth. Photography of the building was commissioned by Perth Precast along with other multi story buildings in the CBD and a number of train stations.

New Oswald Display Floreat

Oswald Homes has just opened its latest display home in Floreat. A grand single story home designed around a large internal courtyard. As with most shoots not everything went to plan. Due to bad weather there was many delays with the home and photography had to be shot around tradesman doing the last final details. Externals had to be shot under a umbrella due to the rain and to make thing worse we were unable open up any of the courtyards doors restricting some good angles.
Here a few pictures from the shoot.
