A huge opportunity came our way when we were invited to capture the newly built villa at Swissotel Çeşme in Türkiye. With its luxurious design and seamless connection to nature, our goal was to bring the space to life through both wide, breathtaking shots and intimate details that tell a story. Every corner of the villa was designed with purpose, and we wanted to ensure that our visuals reflected not just the architecture but also the experience of being in such an elegant and inviting space.
To truly showcase the villa’s ambiance, we dedicated an entire day to filming, allowing us to capture the evolving play of light. The way sunlight interacts with a space can transform its character—morning light brings a fresh and airy feel, midday brightness enhances textures and details, while the golden hour adds a warm, welcoming glow. This approach helped us portray the villa as a dynamic living space rather than just a static structure.
While wide shots conveyed the grandeur of the villa, equal attention was given to small details. The subtle elegance of decor choices, the reflection of light on a marble surface, the way fabric moved with the breeze—all these elements contributed to creating a sense of warmth and authenticity. These close-ups ensured that viewers could connect emotionally with the space, imagining themselves enjoying the villa’s serene atmosphere.
Post-production also played a role in refining the visuals. One key element was enhancing the pool, ensuring that the water looked pristine and inviting. Adjustments in color grading brought out the depth of blues, making the pool feel like the heart of the outdoor space—a place of relaxation and luxury.
Another essential aspect of the shoot was capturing the unique architectural design that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. The villa’s open layout was designed to create a natural flow between the interior and the surrounding landscape. By carefully framing shots, we emphasized this connection, showcasing how the villa allows residents to enjoy both comfort and nature in harmony.
Ultimately, our goal was to make the villa feel as inviting to the eye as it is in reality. Through a combination of composition, lighting, and attention to detail, we created visuals that don’t just display a space but evoke a feeling—one of relaxation, elegance, and the perfect balance between luxury and nature.
