House, Photos, and Photoshop

Often times in the selling of new homes builders will show homes under construction, because that’s all they have to show. The following is just one of many photos I created or manipulated to show what the final home would look like. In this way customers find it easier to visualize their new home.

This home was in a rural neighborhood which was still in development. As of yet there were no paved roads or gutters.

The Original Photo

First - I removed the car, built the small rock wall, and cleaned up the yard.

Second - the cloudy sky had to go. Southern New Mexico has around 300 clear days a year. Leaving the clouds would have been as much of a misrepresentation as actually removing them.

 


Finally - the driveway, gutter, and paved road. This was done by shooting photos of roads and pavement that would match the real thing.
