Making a house into a "HOME" is the job of a talented HOME BUILDER, DESIGNER and ARCHITECT.
Creative lighting featuring key design elements combined with the right props & furniture composition is the job of a skilled PHOTOGRAPHER.
TOGETHER you get stunning, magazine-quality images!!!
There are two photo session options: You have chosen:
Option#2: Deluxe, "Architectural Digest" quality: $1500/day
These photo shoots requires many lights, props, assistants and careful
planning. Prior to the shoot production day we will schedule an
extensive walk-through of the property with the designer. Elizabeth
will make notes of the number of rooms, featured detailed items,
necessary props, natural light direction, and special lighting
equipment needed. Together we will discuss the "feel" you would like to
convey. This appointment may take several hours and is included in the
fee.
As an artist, Elizabeth Etienne is known for her trademark, sensuous,
elegant lighting techniques. The right lighting is the key to
everything!! Inside or outside, modern contemporary or shabby-chic
country, lighting sets the mood and emotion for beautiful design. Too
much direct, glaring, blown out light can kill ambiance and give the
room a look of a doctor's office! Specific lighting can feature key
items, fabrics, or architectural angles both inside the home and
outside.
THESE SESSIONS INCLUDE:
* LOCATION PREVIEW MEETING:
We will meet at the location and do a
walk-thru of a property and discuss what elements you would want
highlighted or featured. I will note any featured close-ups, details,
additional props, existing lighting, (both natural and artificial), and
what time of day natural light will fall through the windows. I
will also note equipment & gear I will need including a lighting
& diffusion kit. I will explain what elements can be digitally
removed or cloned (remove burned out grass, light switches and
other unflattering elements or adding a lighting where there is none
but there will eventually be). From here I determine how long it will
take me to shoot the job and can provide you with a clearer estimate.
If you have several homes to shoot I can give you a group discount
overall.
* ADD'L LIGHTING EQUPMENT, ASSISTANTS & PROP CONSULTING:
Photo assistants help adjusting lighting equipment moving
furniture, props, from room to room so we can
shoot more quickly. I shoot with the latest, fastest and best equipment
available (I’m a technology freak!) and guarantee stunning magazine
portfolio quality images!
*DIGITAL CAMERA TETHERED DIRECTLY TO LAPTOP COMPUTER SCREEN:
A digital camera is tethered directly to a lap top computer
screen so we can see instantly each image AS IT IS SHOT! This enables
us to make the smallest adjustments, (move camera angle, change
lighting, move furniture), and guarantees you will get what you see.
There are no surprises.
* COMPLETE MASTER DIGITAL RETOUCHING OF ALL IMAGES: Color enhancement, deleting certain elements, (i.e. retouching dead grass or trees, chipped floor tiles, ugly plug outlets etc..) or cloning certain elements like lighting sconces, or bushes to fill an empty space. SEE "BEFORE" & "AFTER" SAMPLES BELOW:
BEFORE AFTER BEFORE AFTER
HOME FACADE: Notice red curb, missing lighting along wall, telephone
wires and uneven trees, upstairs right window. POOL: Notice white
sand bags beneath hammock, missing plants along wall and left of
hammock, and other unnecessary odd elements. Each image was slightly
color enhanced and took approx 2 hours to retouch. These are just 2 of the many retouching samples I have done. it is quite amazing to see the results of each image before and after.
High resolution images will also enable you to blow-up images LARGE for impressive, professional, office gallery displays!

Once a date is set for the shoot and
contract estimates are signed a 50% deposit and signed contract is required to secure this
date. The balance is due on the shoot day.
