I describe these homes as “Desert Contemporary” due to the popular style here in the desert for this home design. I was hired by BIGHORN to produce nine photos over two-and-a-half days.

This beautiful “Desert Contemporary” home was built in BIGHORN Golf Club, at the far edge of the development, next to the Big Horn Nature Reserve. This section of the reserve is not as attractive as most views in the development, and BIGHORN wanted to highlight the structure and downplay view and its impact. This required a different technique than utilized at Summit Cove. The solution was to keep the backgrounds darker to match the way the landscape looks at dusk. (Refer to Summit Cove, images 1, 2, 3 and 4).
