This Photo of the Week was taken by Leeah Mayes, our Team Lead in the Houston area. She traveled to the lakefront to shoot Encore on the Bay in Seabrook, TX.
Leeah’s photo really captures the unique layout of the sundeck and the features of its surroundings. Casey Sachen (Manager of Photography, Eastern Region) agrees, explaining that it “shows just how close you are to the water, showing off the resort-style feel of the pool. The unique shade for the sundeck is also a central feature, which shows how modern the property is.” “The area is nice,” thinks Vern Steinman (Manager of Photography, Western Region), “and shows the sun deck right on the lake. This is great for potential renters who want that quintessential “on-the-lake” feel.”
Technically speaking, Mandana Namvar (Director of Photography) points out that “the image is an example of even exposure.” With so many variables to account for – sky, pool, shadows, and sunlight – it is difficult to make sure that each area is exposed properly. “This was a tough situation for the photographer,” explains Vern, “since the overcast sky will tend to fool the camera light meter. Since Leeah is an experienced photographer, she realized this and made sure the exposure was right so that our Ad Developers will have no problem brightening and touching up the sky.
Great job, Leeah! Now, what can we do for your property?
