900 Congress Ave Photo Shoot
Not long ago I was commissioned to photograph the neighborhood surrounding 900 Congress Ave in Austin TX.
This shoot was a bit different from most commercial real estate shoots in that it mainly focused on the surrounding area rather than the building itself. That’s not to say that I didn’t photograph the building itself:
Many of the images were lifestyle-oriented.
I provided an even mix of lifestyle and nightlife images.

The patio balcony of Stephen F – Intercontinental Hotel‘s bar.
I captured various angles from across the street of the building, this was my favorite.

The law offices of Wright & Greenhill was used to showcase the nice view that the building offers.

Because of the dynamic between the dark interior and bright sunny day outside, I blended a total of 15 exposures to achieve this end result. Many of these exposures had off-camera flash which I directed around the room to illuminate it further.
And a couple of more lifestyle street shots.
