FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every project is unique, so it’s important for me to understand early on which aspects of the design the client would like to emphasize. I appreciate a candid discussion of the design and construction process as well as the ability to review relevant floor plans, elevations, sections and any other process renderings that the designer is willing to share. Once we’ve had a chance to discuss the design itself and photography goals, I’ll walk the client through a proposed workflow for the day (or days) of shoot and provide an example contract for their review. If possible, I always prefer to conduct a site visit prior to photographing a project to have a thorough understanding of the built design’s relationship to both site and ambient lighting conditions. I welcome the designer to join us for either a portion or the entirety of the job as I know how crucial (and gratifying) it is to see the project captured exactly as it should be.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m a registered and practicing architect and LEED AP - I’ve spent years in both design and project management. That being said, my eye for architectural composition and attention to detail is the result of a thorough understanding of the process.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My introduction to photographing built works came via a combination of architectural practice and construction management. I already had a love of portrait and travel photography, and the natural progression was to start capturing projects that I was on as either architect or project manager. It didn’t take long before I realized it was a perfect fit.
