Photographing architecture on film in California

I think I am falling in love with film photography for architecture. I was recently in California filming an online course on architectural filmmaking with my good friend Arturo and we were fortunate to spend a full week in two amazing locations. The first location was in Bel Aire… on a lot that Marilyn Monroe…

Nashville Architectural Photographer in The Gulch

I have been in the middle of a fairly large architectural photography project in downtown Nashville that I am looking forward to sharing very soon! In the meantime, here are a few more of those “Exploring Downtown Nashville” shots. You are probably familiar with all of these buildings. I took them all at the beginning…

Downtown Nashville Architecture Photography from the Sky: Part 3: Nissan Stadium + Nashville Skyline

The downtown Nashville skyline and the Nissan Stadium (completed in 1999 by HOK) have been photographed hundreds of thousands, if not millions of times. This was a super last-minute decision to get the drone out and shoot these. There were helicopters flying not too high above and for safety, I wanted to be quick and…

Exploring Nashville as an Architecture Photographer

As an architecture photographer, I am constantly paying attention to the built environment – whether it is where I live or in the cities that I visit. This is my first time actually moving to a completely different city, and I find myself not only looking at and paying attention to it but studying it…

Scouting Commercial Architecture During Covid

The only word that comes to mind when I go back to the first couple weeks of things shutting down due to Covid is “bizarre”. Like many others, it had me strongly contemplating a career shift, but not in a completely different field. Prior to Covid, I had considered myself primarily a residential interiors and architectural photographer…
