South Carolina Architectural Photography – USCL Founders Hall

December 5, 2014

My blogs are becoming a little South Carolina-heavy lately, aren’t they? I’ve photographed much academic architecture this year, including University of South Carolina-Lancaster’s Founders Hall on behalf of client Little based out of Charlotte. The three-story Founders is the only contemporary structure on USCL, which has a protypical hodgepodge of buildings with classical elements and anonymous 20th-century boxes. It sits

South Carolina Architectural Photography – SIES & Charleston County Law Enforcement Center

November 14, 2014

I documented two buildings on the behalf of Cummings & McCrady, Inc. Architects out of Charleston, South Carolina. The first was the Sullivan’s Island Elementary School and the latter is the Charleston County Law Enforcement Center located in N. Charleston. Sullivan’s Island Elemntary School (SIES) Having recently photographed a couple of schools, I’ve learned that dealing with grade schools are

North Carolina Architectural Photography – A Little Interior Design

October 12, 2014

In September, the fall architectural photography season begun with my first assignment for new architectural clients, Little. I photographed one of their recent interior designs in Durham at Clarkston Consulting, where they love themselves some blue and yellow. Took me some time during my fledgling career, but I finally figured how to successfully photograph these sort of conference rooms without

Oh yeah, I was in South Carolina for 48 hours…

September 28, 2014

When I observed it’s been two months since my blog I suddenly realized, Oh hey, I forgot about my short SC trip. Late August I photographed in Charleston on behalf of one of my commercial real-estate clients. September has been VERY busy on the professional front, so there will be a few more blogs as 2014 wraps up. Early morning

Abandoned Pennsylvania – Scranton Lace Company

July 29, 2014

About a year ago during a phone conversation with my Mom, she asked fraught with concern, “Have you thought about getting a hobby? You shoot photographs all the time.” Not only does this encapsulate my relationship with mother but also reflects that I lived a very blessed life in that I get paid for what I truly enjoy doing –

North Carolina Architectural Photography – The Cary Theater

July 17, 2014

I was hired by several parties to photograph the new Cary Theater located in downtown Cary, North Carolina – Quinn Evans Architects out of Washington DC, artists Lynn Basa out of Chicago and McConnell Studios in Raleigh. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with working with multiple parties on one project and everyone was awesome to work with. “The Cary”

Spare Photos in Spare Time

July 15, 2014

I had been traveling relatively often on assignment but had still managed to capture spare photos here and there. These images were taken across four states in a matter of two weeks. NORTH CAROLINA It was a Saturday and I had wrapped up tasks early. I took a peek outside, it was a nice day with variable clouds so I

Back in Pittsburgh

July 7, 2014

Phew! Talk about a delay in blogs. In May I flew to Pittsburgh to check out the nearby Carrie Furnaces (totally awesome) but stayed a couple days extra to target certain locations in downtown. Since my first visit in 2009, Pittsburgh has become one of my favorite cities. As most visitors know, the entire region is challenging to navigate due

Arkansas Student Apartments Photography – Sterling Frisco

June 27, 2014

I had the chance to again work with one of my national clients, the Dinerstein Companies in Fayetteville, Arkansas (home of University of Arkansas) for their student housing project, the Sterling Frisco. I won’t pretend why a pair of buildings in northwest Arkansas has a West Coast-vibed name, but then again, I’m not exactly a marketing genius. The shoot was

Abandoned Pennsylvania – The Carrie Furnaces

June 2, 2014

Sometimes you need a break for a little fun, right? I recently flew to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to join a group of photographers with permission to access the Carrie Furnaces in Rankin, currently being stabilized and renovated as part of the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area. Ironically they didn’t make steel here – they made iron. It was a midday

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Highwire Travelers

April 28, 2014

I did say this year has been an interesting mix of assignments, right? I recently worked with public artist Gordon Huether to photograph one of his newest installations, Highwire Travelers at Raleigh-Durham International Airport Terminal 1. Capturing public installations isn’t something I’m accustomed to, but then again – what am I used to really? Most was photographed before the terminal
