Photographing Gathering Spaces in Residential and Commercial Architecture

I love photographing gathering spaces in residential and commercial architecture. These are oftentimes the most thoughtfully designed areas in a building because they are where we spend time connecting with those closest to us. It is where we host get-togethers or relax with our loved ones in our homes and, in our workplaces, where we…

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…

The Top 3 Things I Consider When Editing an Architectural Photo

Last week I shared the images of the rustic cabin in Grand Rapids, MN. I thought that it would be interesting to share what the editing process looks like for just one of the images. Believe it or not, this was actually a relatively simple edit.

Interiors Photography – Rustic Lake Cabin With Modern Fireplace

Last week, I talked about storytelling with photos. This shoot was a perfect example how why storytelling is important. So what does storytelling have to do with photos of a fireplace?
