I had way too much fun getting this shot. (I took loads, each one being different was super cool!)

Any waterbenders in the house? ;D

You can make locations feel "lived in" with little extras like dirt, stains, etc. But also with larger details, like trash bags/bins, (welcome) mats, etc. Make something look abandoned with grime, plant growth, & dilapidation. Every location has a story.

A stock photo of a large outdoor wooden storage shed, seen in 3/4 view, elevated with concrete brick foundation. It's painted green with red doors and white trimming and has boarded up windows. The wooden stairs at the door are covered in moss and falling apart. The building overall looks very aged and used. Trash bags and bins are off to the side, with dirt and wood scraps scattered around. In the background are some lush trees and a white fence with a blue sky.

A stock photo inside a house under construction from the second story, looking down through an opening at an empty door frame. The position is from lower down, like a crouch. The walls aren't yet put in, just the wooden frames, and the floors are slightly moist from previous rain.
