I always imagined the Alamo in the middle of nowhere. Upon my first visit I was surprised it was in the center of a downtown with city blocks of tall buildings surrounding it. It was very unlike the depictions I had seen in print and on film as a child. Decades later, I’d return as a professional photographer for Clark
Four years after photographing Analog Devices’ downtown Raleigh space for CPL, once again we collaborated to document their new offices in Durham, North Carolina. The new offices and labs are located in the revitalized Park Point office campus. This is the building in which Analog occupies two entire floors wrapping around a central courtyard space flooded with a bevy of
Sometimes projects trend towards the colorful side of the spectrum. These are four projects I photographed in 2023 for various projects with what architects can accomplish with a fresh coat of paint. The Belmont Community Center was designed by CPL as a new gymnasium, fitness facility and community center for the city of Belmont, NC. The building is constructed in
This summer in Charlotte, NC, I worked to photograph at Levine’s Children Specialty Center to photograph interior architecture of a patient floor within the hospital for Little. Little hired a model agency to help populate photographs with people, along with staff from their local office. It was a really quick shoot in which we jammed in capturing many images in
This year I spent a few visits photographing the new Firsthealth Cancer Center in Pinehurst, North Carolina for architects CPL and contractor Brasfield & Gorrie. In total we spent approximately one week photographing inside and out this 120,000 s.f. facility. Most hospital designs are similar in that most of the creative schematic design are in the front-facing public areas and
Yes. Yes I am. The last blog featuring much in the way of personal photography was back in 2019 when I was quietly exploring a return to Texas. Today, I split time between Raleigh and San Antonio, so figured I’d share the other side of my photography career since that last post. A lifetime ago, wayyyyyy back in 2020 we
The sprawling shopping mall with anchor tenants and thousands of parking spots for peak holiday seasons were prominent markers of America’s consumer economy between the 1960s and 1990s. However, with the advent of online retail, the building type has been in increasingly rapid decline. Many of these malls remain empty or abandoned, others demolished, but some are being gradually repurposed
This spring I returned to Nashville for several architectural photography projects, among them the Village Church and Children’s Memory Garden at Centennial Park. Again, I had the pleasure of working with EOA Architects and McCoy Design to photograph the Village Church. In Antioch, the new building is situated on a hilltop with backdrop of woods. There were many great skies
I didn’t have “photographing houses” on my post-pandemic bingo card, but the past couple years has since a marked increase in capturing single-family residential design. Shooting them more often has given me a real opportunity to begin crafting my own visual style. Again, I had the pleasure to work with Arrowhead on a modern house renovation and addition in Raleigh,
2023 has provided a wide diversity of projects to photograph from large 2-5 day shoots to a range of smaller locations. This blog covers a few of the latter I’ve worked on this spring. I again had the opportunity to work with Studio8 to capture Supergoop‘s San Antonio office located in the Pearl. The break area takes on mid-century modern
Still in what I’m hoping is the first half of my photography career, I’ve gained enough latitude to start working on projects and with design practices that I really want to work with, purposefully steering towards people and places that would ordinarily be considered outside the architectural “boys’ club”. It’s been a true pleasure collaborating with Alonzo Alston and Sol
It has been awesome having the opportunity to collaborate with Ford, Powell & Carson the past couple of years. Last autumn I captured a recent major academic project at Northeast Lakeview College, Paluxy Hall in Universal City, Texas – a STEM academic research and classroom building. Turner Construction was the general contractor and IMEG were engineers. I also captured furniture
