One of the most challenging projects to date, to photograph a luxury hope that is so new that the area is still unoccupied. That’s not the challenging aspect though, the challenging part is that the space is totally unfurnished so I had to make it look great as it is.
As if that wasn’t difficult enough, only a portion of the unit comes with lights and that means I had to bring some of my own!
This is why I always make a preliminary trip, a recce trip. Recce means reconnaissance and the trip is indeed a reconnaissance.
Why do I practice reconnaissance?
First is to know the location, it would look silly if I told a client I will be there at 10AM and I got lost somehow. I also always made sure I start my journey early, just being on-time is never good.
Secondly is a recce visit as such allows me to familiarize with what’s around, kind of like perusing your exam paper before starting but the only difference is that I’m coming back some other day and had more time to prepare!
