Bordeaux Homes

Today was my first work day. I got to shoot some amazing homes in Bordeaux. Here are a few pics of what we all wonder
what is inside those beautiful buildings.
I am still learning my camera and how to take interior shots.
The homes here are quite dark and have some very rich colored walls.
They are more of a Shabby Chic decor but with color.
Very different styles from California decor.
I didnt have my tripod and forgot my flash,
so some of the pictures came our a bit blurry.
Hope you can make heads or tails of the order, to be honest I forgot what interior went with what exterior! All the homes are being sold for over a million Euros.



























The most beautiful bathroom all Mahogany wood
The walls were a dark chocolate brown, the ladies were all sitting around the table having coffee, they didnt like when I told them to get out so I could shoot the kitchen.
















Had to end the day because of the rain.
This was a huge learning experience for me. In America we are use to staging the homes and having photographers over. I had to shoot these quite quickly, as the owners wanted me out as soon as possible. Most of the beds were not made so I couldnt take bedroom shots. Michael was a great help as he uncluttered the areas then put things back. Also when a home is sold and you move in dont expect to see any of the light fixtures or light switches, the owner takes EVERTHING. You will arrive to rooms with wires coming out of the walls and completely empty kitchen :)
