The Sydney Opera House seen through Caterina Bernardi's eyes.

When Caterina is awarded a job she immerses herself into ever aspect of the shoot.  Her day scouting the Sydney Opera House was no exception.  The images are strikingly beautiful.  It is hard to believe they are scouting shots! 

Her images of the Opera House reveal its sexy curves and majestic form.

The Opera House is a stunning architectural marvel, a true masterpiece in ever sense of the word.   It was designed by Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect. He never actually saw the finished work due to a fierce fight for control of the project with the city’s officials. There was a lot of drama behind the development of this icon.  Hopefully down the road someone will make a movie about it.




The beautiful model for the shoot.
         These angles of the opera are seldom seen in print.
Sydney seems to have a stunning vista from everywhere you go.


Jørn was awarded the winning design of the Opera in 1957.  It is truly impressive to think that this ground breaking and monumental expressionistic design was built without access to modern technology.




In many ways Sydney has a lot in common with San Francisco, where I live, a beautiful bridge and a harbour.
