人生境遇很奇妙, 也許我開始走好運, 也許過去幾年的努力開始被看到, 總之, 一個轉念, 老天就直接把答案放在我面前, 清楚乾脆. 有人付錢讓我做我擅長又熱愛的工作, 我真的很幸運.
七月底一位在Essex Property Trust負責攝影部門的人, 從Linkedin找上我, 談了幾次, 個性上很合得來, 他也是笑得很大聲的類型, 所以在合作方式談攏後, 我就開始上工了, 十天內就有五個案子進來, 所以忙得開心得不得了.
“Essex Property Trust, Inc., is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires, develops, redevelops, and manages multifamily residential properties in selected West Coast communities. Since its founding in 1971, Essex has developed a clearly defined approach for creating value and managing risk. The Company’s approach has three components – a sound real estate strategy, an experienced management team, and a strong financial condition.”
Essex是一家上市公司(NYSE:ESS), 在西岸有近250個Multifamily apartment communities, 舊金山灣區就佔70個, 我的第一個案子就是剛蓋好不久, 位在Downtown San Jose 的One South Market, 一共23層樓, 共有一房 ($2700-$3700), 二房 ($3400-$4300), 三房($4700-$5200)的選擇, 頂樓那層有六間Penthouse (據說月租$8000), 賣點當然就是超大的廚房空間和美麗的市區夜景啦.
我主要是拍Penthouse的照片 (放傢俱前和後), 還有幾個影片 (還沒開始), 想先放幾張照片和大家分享一下. 這間Penthouse的廚房/客廳/餐廳的開放空間超級大, 小孩可以在裡面騎腳踏車了.
晚上的景色真是美呆了. 隔音不錯, 把落地窗打開可以看見飛機降落, 但是關上窗後就完全聽不見聲音了.
我的工作超棒的, 有機會到處去, 看不同的住宅, 商業大樓 (之前去拍Twitter), 室內裝潢設計, 真的是做夢都在偷笑啊我!! 這讓我想到我自己一直奉行的理念 – 投資自己的腦袋是穩賺不賠的!!!

Hey Jacqueline,
Good to see you here. How’s everything going for you? Did you apply the Italian school?? 趕快去, 這樣我就可以去義大利找你玩了, 嘿嘿嘿!!!
Hi Sabrina,
Your pictures are very clear and beautiful, I am going to buy a camera that can shoot the pictures like yours, may I ask what is your camera and could you give me some recommendation about the lens and accessory( I am a beginner)?
Hi Julia,
I use Canon 5D Mark III with Canon 16-35mm, 24-105mm lenses for my paid jobs but I use iPhone 6 and Canon G16 for personal fun. For a beginner, I won’t recommend to buy a expensive, complicated and heavy DSLR because it take time to learn how to use all the functions that camera offers. But if you have the money, I won’t stop you from spend it. :p
