Recently, I had the pleasure of traveling to Elkin for a photo shoot at a stunning property. This large, beautifully furnished home exudes warmth and coziness, complete with a basement and inviting ambiance. Normally, I prefer natural light for my photos, but this Airbnb’s mixed ambiance lighting added an extra layer of charm that was irresistible. Despite the potential color cast from mixing artificial and daylight, the cloudy day provided a perfect balance for capturing the property’s true essence.
The home boasts ample space, multiple bedrooms, a game room, a bathtub, fire pits, and a huge driveway. It’s a private haven yet conveniently close to downtown Elkin. The host requested drone photos to showcase the entire property, and I was also asked to do a twilight conversion. After wrapping up the shoot, just as I was about to leave, the sun set amidst thick clouds—ideal conditions to avoid harsh shadows. I quickly set up my camera to capture a single exposure, making the twilight conversion possible. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
