David — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:33:17 +0000

When Sotheby’s Erick Larson got the listing for this one-of-a-kind 40-acre retreat upon Sonoma Mountain he wanted a unique marketing program. The marketing presentation became a portfolio of individual photographs with vellum slip-sheeting between.

Over a day we created over twenty photographs that showed the grandeur of place along with visionary singular spaces. In post production we tighten up the photography to give the clean architectural feel you see here that belies ten years of wear.
