Luxury Commercial Real Estate Photography – Century City

Westfield Century City, Los Angeles

Overview of Luxury Commercial Real Estate Photography
Commissioned by Westfield to photograph a new opening phase at Westfield Century City, Los Angeles.  AD requested images that showcase the design of Century City with emphasis on architecture, flagship retails shops and open-air, multi-level, architectural design. People moving through the architectural space are shoppers not models. Low shutter speeds were used to create a feeling of motion and to protect privacy.  Careful compositing is employed to layer each scene with Angeleno shoppers. All images are created with natural daylight. Captured on a Sony a7sii with a 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master lens.  The twilight image below [created with a Canon 17mm f/3.5 Tilt Shift lens,] was requested to showcase the four vitrines facing Santa Monica Boulevard.
