Bilpin house by Alex Nikulin

What an amazing place! I loved the location (in the Blue Mountains on the outskirts of Sydney) and what a great architectural conversion from a previous commercial space. Jeff from Norton Homes which is based in Kurrajong Heights, is an amazing builder and had some serious issues to deal with on this build (including having to chainsaw slots into the timber to fit the gyprock walls into) The build took almost 3 years to complete. Check out the first images. (loved the bellbirds singing throughout the shoot by the way) Possible HIA award winner? What do you think?

Update:

Congratulations to Jeff on being the HIA award finalist!

Before and After by Alex Nikulin

This is an example of the type of work that typically goes into a night shot.

The sky is actually real and was shot on the night, however with careful blending in Photoshop, the density gets changed and dropped in, the interiors get colour balanced and glass reflections removed, the next door neighbour's house gets darkened so it's not as overwhelming. As usual, pool cleaners get removed.
