Here's a light painting behind the scenes of a luxury home I recently shot. This was a huge gorgeous home in Las Vegas. My client wanted a money shot that showed off the backyard, pool and its amazing strip views. What a difference in the before and after of the increased the value in the shot. Adding light to the scene helped to show off the backyard and landscaping while appreciating the strip views! Since it was shot with a wide angle lens, i had to bring the Las Vegas strip back in closer using photoshop so it represents how it really is. C & C always appreciated :)

Thanks for sharing your process
Your welcome, we are all here to learn from each other :)
I love the composition Fraser. The balcony rail leads you from the bottom right to mid left, then through the Vegas skyline and back to the pool. Great stuff as usual. Damn I wish I lived in a big city. I'd love the opportunity to shoot places like this!
Thank you, I'm glad it worked out too. The client was very specific about seeing the balcony, backyard and strip views all in one shot. There was no other composition I could find without having converging lines, but I think it worked out at the end.
