That little extra (real estate photo)

One of the things I do on Maui is shoot real estate. Sure, I dig the beach family sessions and weddings, but real estate is my chill time. I pop in a pair of earbuds, turn up some tunes and go to work.

So far, the agents around here like what I do and call me back for more. I like to believe it's that little extra effort I put into it, such as making sure the television is showing an inviting image. Below is a shot from yesterday's condo shoot. The rest of the gallery can be seen here:

    JBR, you can tell you went the extra mile on this. The shot is very complimentary to the architecture.

    I'm pretty sure this one is in the $2.5M range, as it's a stone's throw from the ocean, overlooking Ma'alaea Bay and a view of Kaho'Olawe & Molokini. Pretty standard price range for condos here close to the ocean, or at least with a great ocean view.

    Thanks Coop! This little condo was quite fun to shoot, with generous lighting in some areas and challenging conditions in others. I'm continually impressed with what I can get a little 430EX II Speedlite to cover.

    I did forget to add that I use a FlashBender, which is a diffuser / reflector that is flexible and can be aimed at just the right spots. Also, I shoot architecture like this using a monopod. Tripods are best for stability, but I can cram into a corner a little more easily with the monopod, not to mention it's a little easier to walk around with.
