📸 NO AI PHOTOS — What you see is exactly what you get.
🎨 THE LOCATIONS — Multiple Distinct Shooting Zones
The Mural Wall
: A full-fence Florida wildlife mural hand-painted by a popular Miami artist — flamingos, manatees, panthers, alligators, butterflies, tropical fish, and hibiscus. Faces north, catching direct southern sun all day with zero harsh shadows across the artwork. An unmatched portrait, editorial, fashion, and brand backdrop unlike anything else in South Florida.
The Retro Pool
: Kidney-bean-shaped retro pool running east to west — soft golden morning light on the east end, cinematic golden hour on the west. Glows turquoise after dark from underwater lighting. No additional lighting equipment needed for nighttime pool content.
The Pergola & Fire Pit
: Teal canopy pergola with string lights, teal Adirondack chairs, and fruit-themed accent stools. Fire pit available as an add-on. A naturally framed, intimate setting that photographs beautifully, day or night.
The POP Neon Sign
: The Piece of Paradise neon sign glows on the vertical green wall at night — a branded, editorial accent that stops scrolls. Paired with the LED light-wrapped palm tree and pool glow, the nighttime backyard is a fully lit, multi-layered set requiring zero additional lighting.
The All-White Chef's Kitchen:
Floor-to-ceiling white shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, white subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Clean, bright, and product-shoot ready. Perfect for food photography, cookware shoots, beverage brands, and lifestyle content.
The Covered Patio
String lights across a white beadboard ceiling, outdoor dining, sectional sofa, and a 64" TV — warm, inviting, and effortlessly styled for lifestyle and hospitality content.
🌅 LIGHTING — A FULL DAY OF DYNAMIC CONDITIONS
Morning (7–10AM) Soft golden eastern light on the pool deck — ideal for dreamy lifestyle and portrait work.
Midday (10AM–2PM) Full Florida sunshine saturates the lawn and pool. Peak time for mural content — vivid, shadow-free color all day.
Golden Hour (5–7PM) Cinematic western light across the pool, pergola, and palm tree. Your hero window for lifestyle video and brand campaigns.
Night (7PM+) A fully lit nighttime set — pool glow, string lights, POP neon sign, fire pit, and LED palm. Stops scrolls every time.
