ByJordan Powers - Nashville Architectural Photographer January 30, 2024January 24, 2024

High-End Real Estate Photography and Video

ByJordan Powers - Nashville Architectural Photographer November 20, 2023November 19, 2023

I don’t photograph much real estate these days, but when I do it is because someone wants the home photographed like an architectural photographer. 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…

5 Things I Learned from Shooting Interiors and Architectural Photography with Film Cameras

ByJordan Powers - Nashville Architectural Photographer October 9, 2023October 4, 2023

About 6 years ago, I purchased an old Canon AE-1 film camera from the 1970’s. I was feeling in a bit of a creative rut, and also really wanted to understand photography better. Being someone who didn’t start doing photography professionally until 2005, I was at the very beginning of when film cameras were becoming…

Photographing Gathering Spaces in Residential and Commercial Architecture

ByJordan Powers - Nashville Architectural Photographer February 8, 2023February 8, 2023

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.

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

Before drones, photographers were using long poles and helicopters to get higher elevations. I personally…
