The Little Building That Could – North Carolina Architectural Photography

December 19, 2015

It’s not every day you get to commercially photograph a building in the same location you’ve shot art photography. However, that was the case for Blok Architecture’s recent infill project in Durham, North Carolina. I, like many local photographers, have captured this previously practically abandoned alley over the years. As Durham has dramatically grown from the doldrums of the past

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Concept Eight’s House Designs

December 17, 2015

After photographing 610 Chamberlain last year for the design-build firm Concept Eight, I returned to shoot a couple more of their Raleigh homes. The first residence was Tower Court, which is on what I call the “Concept 8 Block”- adjacent to two other of their builds. This was a full custom-design. The house is accessible by two parallel streets, so

Skyhouse Uptown – Charlotte, North Carolina Real Estate Photography

November 30, 2015

Remember this summer when I photographed Skyhouse Apartments in downtown Raleigh? No? That’s okay, because apparently one Skyhouse shoot deserved another – this time in uptown Charlotte, North Carolina on behalf of

Fonthill Castle Estate – Doylestown PA

November 4, 2015

Woohoo! I finally got away to take some photos for fun! I traveled to the unique Fonthill Castle Estate in Doylestown, approximately an hour north of Philadelphia. Fonthill was built in the early 20th century by Henry Chapman Mercer an archaeologist and anthropolgist. Mercer had no training in architecture but designed and built the entire house himself between 1908 and

Texas Real Estate Photography – The Promenade in San Antonio

October 25, 2015

While it rained in North Carolina for two weeks straight, I escaped to work in SanAntonio, Texas on assignment for KBS at the Promenade, part of the Eilan mixed-use complex near Six Flags. You can’t miss these colorful Spanish-inspired buildings with terra cotta roofs. The buildings are pretty straightforward in their appearance, though I was able to play with the

North Carolina Architectural Photography – UNC Marsico Hall

Marsico Hall is one of the latest buildings to be completed on University of North Carolina’s campus in Chapel Hill. It’s a $260M research facility dedicated to advancing knowledge of cancer and other complex diseases.

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Stanhope Student Housing

October 15, 2015

The Stanhope student housing development is another architectural photography assignment in my backyard of Raleigh, North Carolina for Little Architecture. Having photographed modern student apartments throughout the South, it’s obvious that these aren’t your parents’ apartments. These kids are getting it all these days. You know – back in MY day… …er, uh sorry – was getting carried away with

Everyday I’m Hustlin’

September 17, 2015

It’s been a personally interesting and challenging year, much of it affecting my daily ability to work. I’ve recently continued to forge ahead both personally and professionally, getting back into the groove of things this summer. Now – when I, like many photographers, present these blogs we tend to show off our sexiest projects – the assignments we know will

North Carolina Real Estate Photography – Skyhouse Apartments

July 3, 2015

Last month braving the 100-degree weather included photographing Skyhouse Apartments in downtown Raleigh on behalf of RAM Partners LLC. We’ve had a dramatic increase in mid- and high-rises in Raleigh and this is one of the latest. Speaking of latest, you’ll also be treated to Matt McConnell’s recent standout art installation on Skyhouse’s front facade. Other than, I photographed public

My San Francisco Experience in 68,000 Words

May 14, 2015

I recently spent time in San Francisco doing an architectural and urban study, with side trips trips in Oakland and Sausalito. Since I’m too exhausted for a proper blog, I’ll liberally borrow the adage “A Picture is a Thousand” words and let them speak for themselves. Needless to say, I had a blast. Hope you enjoy!
