“We’ve had a number of photographers who have tried to get shots for us, but none of them even came close to achieving the look, the atmosphere, and the artfully staged shots you’ve done.”
—Gwen North, Owner, Lake Rabun Hotel
HOW I CREATE BREATHTAKING PHOTOGRAPHS
Great photos result from thoughtful preparation and collaboration. After all, these images are meant for you. Let’s work together to create breathtaking results.
1. PLANNING
Before shoot day, we’ll discuss your needs, including the number of images, principal views, stylistic preferences, and timeline. I’ll review your drawings to familiarize myself with the project. Together, we’ll create a shot list, schedule, and on-site checklist to ensure everything is prepared for the shoot.
On production day, we will have confirmed on-site preparations to avoid any surprises, such as finding a tractor at the front door upon arrival. A building manager shall be available to address any concerns that may arise. Throughout the photography process, I will collaborate with you to ensure that every shot looks its best.
2. CAPTURE
I transform your photos into award-winning portfolio pieces through expert digital editing, including compositing, retouching, and color correction. The result is a curated collection of stunning, professional images that truly showcase your talent and work.

THE ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE
FORM • SPACE • MATERIAL • LIGHT • CONTEXT
FORM
The form of a building encloses space, and its size, shape, and proportions arise from accommodating interior functions. It can convey character, meaning, and reflect culture.
By exploring multiple viewpoints, I ensure that the building’s full sculptural presence is revealed.
SPACE
Space has distinct visual and physical characteristics, such as dimensions, proportions, openness, and relationships. It also encompasses the effects of light, along with the color and texture of surrounding materials. The balance between space and structure significantly influences layout and character.
My goal is to capture spatial expression, reveal functions, and highlight meaningful relationships while employing techniques that minimize perspective distortion.
MATERIAL
Surfaces establish boundaries and shape character through their material, color, texture, detail, and interaction with light.
I capture details to emphasize unique and defining features that may not appear in broader views.
LIGHT
Light is the soul of architecture, serving both as a utility and a means of expression. It acts as a principal organizing force in design, infusing the material world with the animating energy of life. Through the interplay of light and shade, form, texture, and surroundings are revealed, significantly influencing mood.
My primary goal is to capture the subtle nuances and flattering effects of both natural and artificial light. I employ supplemental lighting with restraint, ensuring that it enhances the design without becoming intrusive.
CONTEXT
Site and environment significantly influence architectural form, placement, orientation, openness, sense of place, and the arrangement of interior spaces.
I reveal these relationships when they inform critical design decisions.
