Photography for Architects & Design Studios

← Back to Services

Architectural photography commissioned by, and in several cases licensed back to, the firms whose buildings are in it. This page is a record rather than a pitch: proof of the collaborations, with the case study for each.

Who This Is For

Architecture and design firms who need their completed work documented to a publication and awards standard, and who want images their own studio can license and reuse.

Studios who value working with someone who understands the design intent, not only the finished form, which is the practical difference an architecture background makes on a shoot.

How This Works

Firms are credited by name throughout, since the collaboration is part of what makes the work worth showing.

Several of these images have been licensed by the firm itself for their own use, which is the strongest form of endorsement this practice has: not a claim, a reuse.

Firms & Studios
