“LOL….. this is too funny…. yes, the house is real. The photos were taken by me with my little old Canon 5D on a very sunny clear day this past summer. Nothing fancy, no rendering, , I just shot RAW files. NO special programs to sandwich exposures…( I wish I knew how to do all that!) I did not photoshop anything, I gave the Raw files to the architect , my good friend. Any enhancements would have been done by him, but to my knowledge , it is just a little “shadow/highlight” and some saturation, nothing too fancy…. the house is just black and white, and the day was quite clear, so the sky was very blue,so it did “pop” more than most houses I shoot…. I did strobe the interiors to capture the balance of inside to outside. I usually try to make it look natural , as I used to be an architectural lighting designer, in this case the architect may have chosen to use an exposure that was more “strobed” than another… not sure….I bracket a lot…. The house also did not have much furniture, so it does lend itself to a “rendering” look… The surfboard is real, it is mine…

This was a very quick simple job ( I did not even have an assistant with me) of a cool little beach house…..I hope this puts minds at ease!!

All the best, Art Gray”
