Breezy Oaks: A Yellow House and a Collection of Ferraris

Most real estate shoots are about square footage and natural light. This one came with a curveball.

The property at Breezy Oaks is a yellow house, the cheerful kind you can spot from the end of the street. The owner also happened to keep a collection of Ferraris. So the job turned into two shoots at once: sell the house, and don't make the cars look like an afterthought.

Making a yellow house and red cars get along

That much color can fight itself fast. The trick was letting each one have its own frames, then finding a few angles where they shared the shot. The warm siding and the polished paint ended up playing nicely together. They're both loud, just in the same key.

Note

These came back from my old site, so some frames survived at smaller sizes than I shot them. Open any one to see the biggest version I've still got.

All 39 surviving frames are below. Click one and it opens on top of the page, card-style. Flip through with the arrow keys or a swipe, and close it with Esc or a click outside.
