El Cuadrado is a splendid property built into the hillside with fantastic views down to the coast and Almuñecar. We faced a few challenges with this project but in the end, we did produce a set of images that really showcased the property from dusk through to bright daytime.

The original scope was to do a daytime shoot, but this then morphed into a nighttime shoot as well. In the end, we agreed that it would be best to do the whole shoot over a night and the following day, with the lovely owners offering us overnight accommodation.

We photographed the property inside and out as the evening light faded until we had full on night shots with the stars shining bright. We then restarted early the next morning to get the sunrise at dawn. Then as the morning progressed, we were able to get bright sunny shots of the pool and exteriors – with deep blue skies and even a few swifts on the hunt for breakfast.
