The pale-blue house on Rainbow Row stands like a punctuation mark on a street that never stops posing. You move with the photographer down cobbled lanes, under live oaks draped in Spanish moss, while the Cooper River edges the view and the city’s pastel façades catch the sun. It’s an intimate urban stroll where architecture, lowcountry light, and a practiced camera meet.
