Famous Property Shoots

Phil Greely, a premier Seattle real estate agent, recently made waves by moving to The Agency—a move that has already turned heads in the local real estate community. His latest exclusive listing? The famous Fifty Shades of Grey penthouse that served as the inspiration for Christian Grey’s Fifty Shades of Grey. To properly capture the property’s luxury and legacy, Phil turned to Clarity Northwest. Photographed by Derrick Louie, the Fifty Shades of Grey penthouse is proof that exceptional real estate photography doesn’t just document a space—it transforms it. Through lighting, composition, and cinematic precision, Derrick showcases the soul of the Fifty Shades of Grey penthouse in every frame.

Located in one of Seattle’s most exclusive high-rises, it features floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept living spaces, and sweeping views of Elliott Bay, the Space Needle, and Mount Rainier. It’s no surprise this property has been featured in The Times, Robb Report, New York Post, and The News Tribune..
