Photographing architecture on film in California

High-End Real Estate Photography and Video

The main reason is that I charge (quite literally) 10x more than your standard real estate photography pricing. In this post, I am not going to break down the difference between…

How Much Does Architectural Photography (and Video) Cost?

My most-visited post on my website was titled “How much does architectural photography cost?” and was from several years back.

Interior Design and Architectural Video Production

One of the most under-utilized pieces of content in the interior design and architectural space is video. In fact, when I ask most people if they are working with video yet it is either a flat-out “no”, or they are doing basic IG Reels, Stories, and Tik-Toks.

Top 5 Reasons You Should Use A Drone For Your Architectural Project Photography

It’s hard to imagine that drones have really only been a photography tool over the last decade or so and, in my opinion, they really didn’t produce the quality of images needed for architectural photography until the last few years. Before drones, photographers were using long poles and helicopters to get higher elevations. I personally…

Top 10 Kitchens (and Kitchenette) Photographs

Today I wanted to show off the top 10 kitchens (and kitchenette) photographs that I have had the opportunity to photograph for my clients over the years. Maybe it’s because I love to eat. Or maybe it’s because I just love all the elements that come together to make up the space. Whatever the case,…
