I’ve been waiting months for this property to come onto the market. I first shot it last fall, and have taken two subsequent trips to photograph it in different lights. I won’t go into great detail about the home, since it has been well documented on this website. But I will say that this is one of the nicest homes I have ever shot, partly due to the owner insisting that we shoot it on an overcast day instead of a sunny one. The cloud-diffused sunlight drifted through the skylights and large windows beautifully, making my job much easier.
The twilight photo shoot was helped substantially with recessed lighting throughout the home, including some floor-mounted spotlights which pointed straight up to illuminate the ceiling. I also managed to direct the outdoor floodlights so that they lit up the pond and rock walls the way I wanted.

I recently had a chance to do a daytime and twilight shoot of the same property, at the request of realtor Juliana Jiao. This 3-bedroom condo is on the 30th floor of the Callisto in Coal Harbour, and offers floor to ceiling windows with unobstructed views of Stanley Park, the North Shore, and downtown Vancouver. These images demonstrate how the look of a home can change dramatically, depending on the type of light being used to illuminate the room. In the daytime images below, indirect sunlight filtered through some thin clouds is the main source, which gives the rooms soft shadows and fairly even light. In the evening shots, recessed lights in the ceiling flood the rooms, with a little help from my flashes. Outside, the night sky still has a trace of daylight in it, and the buildings add some twinkle.

This stunning property didn`t last very long on the market. I shot it abut a month ago and it recently sold at the bargain price of $7,880,000. The property itself has a direct connection to members of the Guinness family, who lived there while they built the British Properties. The new home boasts over 5,000 square feet of living space, a lagoon and pool, and soaring windows that bring the giant cedars right into the living room. Plus a guest house. So have a nice drool at the pictures below, and start saving your money for the next time this beauty hits the market.

I recently spent the day shooting photos and videos for this 1-acre private island just two hours from Vancouver. It includes power, water, septic, and a boat to get you there and back. This is a perfect example of the value of aerial photography and videography (done by Rick at AirFrame Productions. Check out the video). You just can’t get a better feel for this place than from the air.
See Jay McInnes for the full marketing spiel.
