This was a lovely commission from The Wall Street Journal to photograph Annie Heyworth and Tim Healy and their beautiful, newly built timber house.
They worked with architects Hamish + Lyons to design their perfect home- a long, low contemporary house that stands on metal stilts and appears to float above a newly dug lake.
The shoot was at the end of January on a beautiful cold and crisp day. The lake was even frozen! The low winter light was incredible streaming through the windows that lined both sides of the house, but it did make it challenging to balance the light and shadows. I would love to go back in summer and see how the light moves around the house. The design has been so considered, it was a joy to photograph.
Annie, an artist, and Tim, a doctor, were incredibly warm and welcoming throughout the shoot and ultimately so proud of the house they had built.
