North Carolina Architectural Photography – WakeMed Soccer Park

Yet another project this year for Integrated Design, this time of their addition to the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. The NCAA Women’s Soccer Cup finals were in town so they thought it’d be convenient to capture images while a major event was transpiring. It was my first time capturing such a venue as an architectural photographer and

Spare Moments

Typically my off-season, the last couple of months have been among the busiest I’ve ever experienced as a professional photographer. I can’t properly express how thrilled and thankful I am for this, however it’s provided little opportunity for any – and I mean ANY – day off. Despite this busyness, I cannot seem to resist taking “for fun” photos for

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Integrated Design

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the new Hospira building in Rocky Mount, North Carolina for Integrated Design. It was a very intricate and detailed process that began in August and ended four months later in December. The building took four different calendar days to shoot and I’ll describe this with a little more detail than my usual blog.

Abandoned Pennsylvania – Revisiting the Ashley Huber Coal Breaker

Took a brief trip up to Pennsylvania in order to photograph the famous Ashley Huber Coal Breaker before it gets torn down. The day before a fellow explorer from Pennsylvania, whom I’d meet later that evening in Bethlehem, pointed me to an old juvenile detention facility for some “warmup exploration”. Getting inside served as a good reminder that I need

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum – Weston, West Virginia

Remember a month ago where I was talking about my group trip to West Virginia? Okay, so this is where we were going – the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (also known as Weston State Hospital) in Weston. Similar to the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, it’s “decay tourism” done right, maintaining a delicate balance between preservation, decay, and tourism by keeping

Wrapping up an eventful year! These are a few photos for one of my new clients, PMC Property Group, for their 3600 Broad Street apartments in Richmond, Virginia.

Three days and Nary a Banjo

That’s right – more rural photography. Two fellow photogs and I recently traveled to meet up in West Virginia with two other photogs at the abandoned Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. Since we all a) like photography b) appreciate abandoned places and c) enjoy trespassing to do so, we thought it’d be an ingenious idea if we did all three simultaneously in

North Carolina Architectural Photography – General Shale

I was recently commissioned to capture photographs of a private residence in Tabor City, North Carolina featuring General Shale masonry products. The weather has been so horrible lately, I was deeply relieved the sun broke through for a few hours! The homeowner – fantastic guy, great family – was perfect to coordinate with. These are the six images I delivered.

North Carolina Vernacular

Tripping through North Carolina countryside has become one of my favorite (and slightly scary) things to do, especially since I started shooting pictures 10 years ago. I had a free weekend off so spent an afternoon checking out local rural haunts. One find was an abandoned house in Holly Springs. Nothing really interested me about the outside or most of

North Carolina Architectural Photography – Neuse River Greenway

Not much of a summary here, I was contacted by Stewart Inc., an engineering and planning design firm based in North Carolina to capture photographs of specific items in a particular section of the Neuse River Greenway in Raleigh. The challenge was to blend the professional appearance of architectural photography with the artistic sensibilities of landscape photography. Neat little job.
