This unit was part of a multi-unit Airbnb photography campaign executed at Surf 1, Creek Beach, each styled with distinct themes. This particular apartment reflects a modern and earthy design language, combining warm neutral tones, clean lines, and textured soft finishes throughout.
The dining and kitchen area was shot with a deliberate focus on tonal balance — warm wood cabinetry and muted grays contrasted with matte black dining chairs and marble-like surfaces. Careful color grading in post helped unify whites and beiges across different material finishes. All shots were taken using the Canon EOS R6 Mark II with an RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM lens, ensuring accurate detail capture and natural depth compression for small interior spaces.
In the living room, we emphasized the soft morning light diffused through semi-opaque curtains to convey a serene, naturally lit environment. This lighting choice helped retain true color tones on the furniture and wall art without flatting the shadows. A wide compositional approach captured the entire open layout, showing the flow from TV console to dining to kitchen in a single sequence. Clean vertical lines were maintained via tilt correction in post, ensuring structural integrity in every angle.
The bedroom design brought a different visual rhythm — using a mix of taupe, ash gray, and natural wood grains, evoking a calm, grounded atmosphere. We focused on side lighting and central symmetry to highlight the layered bedding, upholstered headboard, and rustic wood dresser. The nightstand lights and pendant fixtures were styled in, with their warmth subtly enhanced during editing to maintain realism while elevating comfort.
Editing across this set remained true to your style: no over-retouching, soft contrast curves, highlight control, and vertical/perspective corrections — all tuned for clarity, elegance, and authenticity, as expected in modern short-term rental photography.
This third unit offers a distinctly organic and grounded mood that complements the light, feminine tone of the blush-toned unit and the breezy openness of the previous. It contributes to the overall portfolio by demonstrating how varied moods can be captured across identical layouts through styling, lens choices, and controlled daylight shooting.
