Step Inside the Airbnb Where We Shot Our "Off Campus" Cover
Our take
Step inside the Airbnb that served as the stunning backdrop for our "Off Campus" cover shoot featuring Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright. This curated setting not only highlights the effortless elegance of their style but also enhances the narrative of youthful adventure captured in each frame. The ambiance perfectly complements the essence of summer flings, making it a fitting complement to our feature.
In the world of curated experiences, the backdrop of a story can be as compelling as the narrative itself. The recent cover shoot featuring Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright for the Amazon Prime series "Off Campus" exemplifies this perfectly. The Airbnb setting not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the photographs but also embodies the essence of youthful exploration and modern luxury. Much like our piece on Shop the Date-Ready Looks From Our "Off Campus" Cover, the location plays a pivotal role in crafting a narrative that resonates with a sophisticated audience seeking both style and substance.
The Airbnb, with its carefully curated decor and inviting ambiance, serves as an extension of the characters portrayed by Cameli and Bright. It reflects the aspirational lifestyle that many of our readers gravitate toward—an elegant yet accessible world that invites them to imagine themselves in similar scenarios. This connection between setting and character is vital; it not only highlights the importance of visual storytelling in modern media but also reinforces the idea that where you are can enhance who you are. This interplay is echoed in our exploration of personal journeys in articles like I Went on an "Ex-Cape" After My Breakup, and It Kinda Healed Me, where the environment significantly impacts one's emotional landscape.
Moreover, the choice of an Airbnb for this shoot aligns perfectly with current trends in travel and lifestyle. It speaks to a generation that values unique, personalized experiences over traditional hotel stays. This trend reflects a broader cultural shift toward seeking authenticity and individuality in every aspect of life, including travel. In a world filled with cookie-cutter options, the curated aesthetic of an Airbnb offers a refreshing alternative that allows travelers to immerse themselves in local culture while enjoying modern comforts. This development is significant because it indicates a growing desire among consumers to engage with brands that understand and cater to their evolving tastes and preferences.
As we move forward, it will be intriguing to observe how this blending of lifestyle, travel, and fashion continues to influence content creation and consumer behavior. The ability to craft a narrative that is visually compelling and deeply relatable will remain crucial for brands aiming to resonate with their audience. Will we see more collaborations that prioritize setting as a character in its own right? How will this affect the way we curate our travel experiences and personal narratives moving forward? The intersection of location, narrative, and personal style will undoubtedly continue to shape the landscape of lifestyle content, making it a space worth watching.
In conclusion, the Airbnb setting for the "Off Campus" cover shoot is not merely a backdrop; it is a vital element that enhances the storytelling experience, allowing us to connect more deeply with the characters and their journeys. As the lines between travel, lifestyle, and fashion blur, we are left to ponder how this evolution will redefine our expectations and aspirations in the ever-curated world we inhabit.
If you've checked out our cover story with Belmont Cameli and Ella Bright, the stars of the new Amazon Prime series "Off Campus," then you know the setting of the shoot itself plays a big part in the photos. A gorgeous pool, a stylish kitchen island — these are some corners of the beautiful West Hollywood home that feature in the final photographs. And you can rent the exact location through Airbnb.
Though you can't tell from the cover story, the rental home actually boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a separate pool house. One of our favorite rooms was the upstairs master bedroom, which has a huge walk-in closet and a private rooftop with an outdoor fireplace.

But every detail of this house is expertly curated: its Santa Fe-inspired design makes it feel like an ultra-luxe oasis right in the heart of Los Angeles, as if you've just stepped into a wellness resort. It'd be the perfect choice for a special birthday trip, or a treat-yourself vacation with friends. And it's walking distance from trendy cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as The Grove, a popular outdoor mall.
Over the course of our shoot day, our editorial and production teams spread out in the living and dining rooms, which have an open floor plan and large arched windows that let in beautiful light. That area flows naturally to the aforementioned kitchen, where the fridge is hidden and the long island truly steals the show.

Meanwhile, Bright got all of her glam done in the pool house, which has its own kitchenette and bathroom. It was the perfect place for a rising star to get all glammed up and feel fabulous. And when it came time for the camera, our photographer, Sophie Chan Andreassend, mostly shot the couple around the kidney-shaped pool, which turned out to be an ideal place to conjure summer love.
Ultimately, this Airbnb was the perfect setting for a romantic, aesthetic shoot day. And trust us: if you rent it, you'll feel like you're getting the celebrity treatment, photoshoot or not.
