I had the pleasure of working in Austin, Texas for Rogers O’Brien Construction and O’Connell Robertson at the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders. When I moved to Texas for college, Governor Ann Richards was in office. Today, the school bearing her name is a nationally top-ranked school, serving grades 6-12. The students were highly engaged with this space,
School’s back in session and so is photographing academic architecture. Late this summer, I was on the University of Texas at San Antonio campus photographing the new athletic facility, aptly titled RACE (Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence). Joeris General Contractors were the builders and Marmon Mok was involved with the architecture. The weather was so good during the scout visit,
Hello again Nashville! The Music City is the metropolitan area I capture architectural photography most outside of North Carolina and Texas, particularly over the last three years. These are three of the projects recently photographed in the area this summer. Architects Gilbert McLaughlin Casella hired me to captured a couple of their Vanderbilt University projects. The Divinity School addition and
More work in Charlotte than average this year and I’m not complaining. Uptown remains growing and this summer I photographed the new apartment high-rise, The Ellis, captured on behalf of Hoar Construction and architects KTGY. This time I teamed up with Myles Gelbach of Myles Per Hour Photography who did a stellar job shooting from above by drone. Awesome teamwork
Once again photographing for Cline Design Associates, this time to photograph their new office space in the Loso area of Charlotte, North Carolina. It’s a very different space than the one recently captured in San Antonio. Likewise a renovation, this building was a warehouse originally built in the 1960s. Cline renovated both of the former industrial buildings, which now houses
Hello Texas! As those following closely know, I launched my TX-based architectural photography operation immediately preceding the pandemic. This winter commenced my first shoots and as the country slowly opened back up, I began regularly accepting assignments this spring as the world slowly opens back up. One of these projects I’ve been looking forward to for a couple of years
One Glenwood and the Origin are both projects designed by JDavis Architects, in the new Bloc 83 commercial district anchoring Glenwood avenue in downtown Raleigh. The first building is a prominent new high-rise office tower that took 20 month span to shoot. For real, sometimes architectural photography includes playing the long game. Completed in spring 2019, photography commenced during much
It’s been awhile since blogging. Another busy year of architectural photography in the books and besides, look ma, new website! Since that endeavor is mostly out of the way, it’s back to highlighting some projects. First up for 2021 is The Hawk Apartments in uptown Charlotte for architects Cline Design Associates. Right down the road is a Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Perhaps the two grand puzzles of “How does the profession of architecture save itself from extinction?” and “How does the field of architecture diversify?” are missing the identical piece as their solution. “This morning a housekeeper knocked on my hotel room door for cleaning.” Upon reading this statement, who did you visualize at the door? Now – just as quickly picture
Back in the Triangle area of North Carolina, I had the opportunity to again work with Little to photograph the modern Morrisville Community Library. The library is sited across from a flower-bedded traffic circle. On the opposite side, accessible to parking is the library entry. A sense of transparency was integrated throughout the design, allowing sight lines deep into the
Once again, I had the pleasure of working with Cline Design, photographing interior design performed for Arboretum West apartments, located in Wilmington, North Carolina, featuring the clubhouse amenity, swimming pool furnishings, and model unit. The clubhouse centerpiece features a bright and airy 2-story space, with furniture and colors reflecting the Carolina coast, and a neat little recessed nook integrated underneath
Two years ago, I worked with Little to photograph the Longwood University Student Success Center in Farmville, Virginia. Simultaneously on campus, two high-rise dormitory buildings were being renovated by the same architects. It was a staged process in which one existing dorm was stripped down to the steel structure while one remain occupied, then following its renovation, the second dorm
