Master Bath Ensuite at Hale Mehana Makai | Pu’uwai Design and Construction | Kukui’ula | Kauai | Hawaii /  by Ethan Tweedie

What do you think about this Master Bath Ensuite?  Rivaling any resort spa, this Ensuite features indoor and and outdoor showers, large bath tub, his and hers vanity and mahogany cabinetry.  Is this not the perfect oasis after and afternoon swimming in the pool or a game of golf at Kukui’ula?  This modern beach home was designed and built by Pu’uwai Design and Construction on the Island of Kauai.

Before and After Friday!!!  /  by Ethan Tweedie

Before and After Friday!!!  I just love the clean lines and monochromatic tones of this Master Ensuite!   As you can see there is a sizable amount of green/yellow color cast in the raw un-retouched image.  In order to correct this I came up with a new photoshop technique.  First, I desaturated all the color channels in the image and then painted back color into the counter plants and added back some of the warmth in the overall image. What do you think?

Pauoa Beach Property /  by Ethan Tweedie

With so many great outdoor activities on the Big Island it has been great to get out and get in the water at our amazing beaches as more and more the Big Island is slowly re-opening after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

One of the last properties I photographed before the quarantine was this amazing property, Hale Makamae O Kai.  It would be the perfect place to live being so close to so many great Kohala Coast amenities!  This ocean front home at Pauoa Beach, Mauna Lani’s Premier Oceanfront Community, sits halfway between the newly remodeled Auberge Mauna Lani and the Fairmont Orchid Luxury Hotel.  With access to the amenities of these two resorts Pauoa Beach Club also has its own ocean front pool and spa! Please check out the details on this home at listing agents Deb Thompson and Karen Ferrara’s Websites.

Aloha Friends and Clients,

I hope this message finds all of you healthy and in good spirits after the unprecedented shut down of our Country and State.

As the State/Country begins to open up its economy after the Covid-19 pandemic this message is to let you know that I look forward to taking on new projects and completing the projects that were put on hold. 

For those of you who sell luxury real estate and have already gone back to work or those planning for the rest of the year now is a great time to present your listings and projects in their best light possible.  People in the market for properties may not be able to shop in person quite yet, but they are looking at listings on line.  Images that have dimension are well-lit and composed that exude emotion will attract the most sophisticated clientele.  Photographers who consistently create these superior images are critical in today's competitive luxury market.  Having a proven photographer like me on your team will help distinguish you from the rest so you attract the quality clients and buyers you seek and achieve your 2020 sales goals. 

Simple, elegance.  That’s what I deliver.  No gimmicks, tricks or the latest toys.  It’s just me, my camera and some lighting.  There is no substitute for just spending time shooting the property... understanding the space, knowing the right time of day with the right light at the right angle to shoot. To me, it’s all about patience.  I'll spend the whole day curating light—12 hours or more—and stay into the evening in order to capture those fleeting after-sunset moments.  It is my passion to use my creative flow in crafting each image as we collaborate to achieve your vision. That’s when the magic happens!

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center /  by Ethan Tweedie

Before and After Slider Saturdays - Howard Hughes ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center

This project for designer Rottet Studio and Howard Hughes posed some very interesting challenges. The location of the model Home Condominiums are located in the old IBM Building designed by Vladimir Ossipoff. On the exterior of the building is a concrete cladding (photo) and the views out the windows will not be the actual future views from the ‘A’ali’i Residential Tower at Ward Center located adjacent to the IBM Building. I had to do a few things to complete the image, first my normal editing and retouching process for the interior, then I had to secure view shots from Howard Hughes they had already captured to show future buyers what the actual views would look like. The views out the window will now show what a potential buyer will actually see.

Rottet Studio is an international architecture and design firm with an extensive portfolio of corporate and hospitality projects for the world’s leading companies and brands. In the last decade, Founder Lauren Rottet, FAIA, FIIDA has developed Rottet Studio into one of the finest interior design practices in the United States
