THE Photo-House

Written on August 16, 2009 Posted in news


A “why not” attempt to create the coolest photography house in Utah.

UPDATE: The owner sold the house 2 days before I was to move in… can’t blame him I suppose… it was a great rental price but way overpriced to buy, so good for him if he was able to sell it.

But now I’m looking for a new place… and if possible even another option for another PHOTO HOUSE

So I ran across this house for lease and went to look at it and take some pictures.

see full gallery here

It was perfect!
But a little bit too spendy for just me and my lonely self.

So…. I had an idea

Planning

I’ve been talking with the owner about leasing it and then renting out the other 4 bedrooms.
He’s down… now I just need to see the interest for renters.

The Idea

The coolest photog house and hangout in Utah

A place for photographers to live, eat, breath photography

As a place to live or as a place to have an office/studio

Indoor studios, outdoor locations, rooms to rent, office space, place to live and have photo related events

To live in the house it would probably need to be single folk like myself.

WHERE

It is a very secluded house that happens to be very near Everything

See it up-close on Google Maps

It’s located in Lehi, Utah

2.0 miles from American Fork/Lehi shopping area on state st.
Including countless restaurants, Walmart, Costco, you name it!
All are under 2.5 miles away

2.2 miles from freeway on-ramp to I-15

12 miles to Salt Lake county (Draper, Bangerter hwy)

13.3 miles to University ave in Orem

30 miles to downtown SLC

Very close to tons of photographic locations in Utah county.
(The house comes with a list of all of these locations… haha )

The best indoor lighting possible

There are 20ft+ vaulted ceilings with a wall of big windows
Both of the bottom rows have a built in diffuser because of the style of shades.
And we can set up another room as a dark studio for when it’s not night.

I took these a little over a month ago… thought I’d share them.
The pictures were picked by my PA Adele.

I did this photoshoot with a lightstand. Usually I have an assistant there to hold lights.
But this made me consider the location of the of camera flash a little more carefully since I’m kinda lazy.
