Gatlinburg Real Estate Photography by Iran Watson

As an Atlanta Real Estate photographer and real estate agent in Marietta most of my photo shoots are somewhere in Metro Atlanta, mostly Cobb, Cherokee and Fulton County. If you know any photographers, however, you know they take a camera with them everywhere and I’m no exception. Even vacations end up with one or two impromptu photo shoots. Recently, I brought my gear along on a weekend trip to one of my favorite places in the South, Gatlinburg, TN.

My family has been vacationing in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN long before I was even born. Even though these two family friendly, Smoky Mountains tourists spots have grown considerably over the last 30 years, there is something that always feels the same when I go there; something familiar, something eternal, something that just puts me at peace. I could never capture everything these places have to offer in a single trip so there are likely to be many more of these posts in the future. Here are a few of my favorites and some of the most commonly requested to license*.

Marietta, GA Art & Design Showhouse 2011

Marietta, GA Art & Design Showhouse 2011

Atlanta Real Estate Photography by Iran Watson

As an Atlanta Real Estate photographer and real estate agent in Marietta I often get opportunities to photograph some of Metro Atlanta and Cobb County‘s most interesting and beautiful properties. Recently I was asked to photograph a few rooms of the 2011 Art & Design Showhouse in Marietta, GA for one of my favorite local city sites Marietta.com. For those not familiar with the Marietta Art & Design Showhouse, it is essentially a showcase of 21 of Atlanta’s most accomplished interior designers designing a space around popular southern artists’ work. The event was held from May 7-22, 2011 and proceeds went to benefit the Marietta / Cobb Museum of Art.

Having only about an hour to get a handful of good shots I was limited to what I was able to really capture of this amazing collection of art and interior design. Since a lot of detail shots had already been taken, I focused on what I do best, photography for real estate. I could have easily spent the entire day there. Here are a few of my favorite images from the shoot.

This home has such a classic, Craftsman style exterior. It fits right in with the style of architecture that is prevalent around Historic Marietta. This is one of the kind of images that comes to mind when I think “Southern Living”.

In addition to the great work done by the interior designers and artists, the home itself was full of character. The carpet cleaning in brisbane service had a separate team here, and had done a fantastic job on the interiors.

The kitchen was certainly the heart of this home. The open floor plan allowed the Kitchen, dining and living areas to all flow together seamlessly.

One of three bedrooms on the upper level, each with its own theme inspired by a different piece of art.

I saved the best for last! This master bedroom was my favorite but it wasn’t an easy decision. Every designer and artist that contributed to the 2011 Marietta Art & Design Showhouse did a remarkable job!

I hope you get as much enjoyment from these images as I did creating them! ILW

Atlanta, GA Centennial Park at Night

Atlanta, GA Centennial Park at Night

Atlanta Real Estate Photography by Iran Watson

One of the benefits of living close to a major metropolitan area is that there is no shortage of places to take interesting photos. Although I generally specialize in photography for real estate, I recently got an assignment to shot some stock images of Centennial Park in Atlanta, GA for an agent website. We wanted the pictures to pop and decided to do a twilight/night shoot. Despite it being crowded I was able to get several shots that I later composited in Photoshop to look as if there were little to no people in the frame. Here are a few of my favorites from the set, including the Centennial Park Fountain light show, The Georgia Aquarium, The Coca Cola Museum and the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel, the second tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere!
