Hobbit Huts in Austin

Hobbit Huts in Austin.

This is a different sort of architectural photography project. Patrick Dougherty is an sculptor who builds these huts out of sticks. When I read about these he was building at Pease Park in Austin, I just had to go do some photographic spot lighting and see if I could get that glowing Hobbit Hut feel out of them. This is what I got after masking 40 layers in Photoshop. Patrick’s home is near Chapel Hill, NC. He installs these all over the country.
