Arboretum West Interior Photography – Wilmington, North Carolina

December 30, 2020

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

Longwood University Residence Halls

December 28, 2020

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

San Antonio Architectural Photography – Central Catholic High School

December 26, 2020

Central Catholic High School, located in downtown San Antonio recently completed a new $12M multi-use building. The Kahlig-Cowie Convocation Center, designed by LPA, features a comprehensive gymnasium, weights facility, and Mother Adele chapel. I was hired by the architect to capture exterior and interior photographs. The floor plan is a basic L-shaped corridor, with gymnasium on the inside of the

Raleigh Real Estate Photography – Vine Apartments North Hills

December 24, 2020

Though I performed a slew of commercial real-estate photography to occupy my business in my first two years, it’s rare I do so today. However, occasionally, I still get calls from developers such as Kane to shoot marketing photography of their new projects. A few months after capturing Peace Raleigh, I was brought on to document Vine at North Hills,

Three K-12 School Renovations & Additions

December 17, 2020

Each time I post photography from Texas, my southeast-based contacts ask if I’ve moved. As anyone familiar with my work, I travel often. Given the geographical range of my projects, doing occasional projects in cities such as Houston and San Antonio, having deep personal and professional connections in both NC and TX, it just made sense to begin splitting time

Downtown Durham shoots

November 10, 2020

It’s been a productive year so blogs are on a time-delay, so to speak. These are a few shoots captured in downtown Durham, North Carolina late this summer. Spaces is a coworking er…space in the new 555 Mangum office building, built by McDonald York Construction. As the stairs navigate up four flights to the second floor, you can see a

Photography Interrupted

September 27, 2020

2020 has been on heck of a year, resulting in equal craziness on the architectural photography side of things. These are three projects that faced a series of delays that could only happen this year (hopefully!). One Glenwood, designed by JDavis Architects anchors Glenwood Avenue in the ever-expanding downtown Raleigh. The generous glazing combined with LED-lighting allowed for some interesting

Peace Raleigh Apartments

August 14, 2020

Downtown Raleigh has changed so much over the two decades I’ve lived here and few places visibly reflect those changes more than the Peace Street area where Capital Boulevard overpasses. This is photography of the first-completed of several buildings in the area, Peace Raleigh Apartments by Kane Realty, who single-handedly gave North Hills its own skyline, and designed by Cline

Resumption

August 5, 2020

Hope this finds everyone healthy, safe, and well. As indicated in my last blog over three months ago, everyone and everything has been upended by the global pandemic that’s since taken real root in the United States. Despite the interruption, I’ve been able to adjust to this brave new world and resume shooting even with delays with many of my

Green light, green light, RED LIGHT!

April 30, 2020

It took a global pandemic and national economic collapse to make me realize I hadn’t a week off from business since February 2017. Well, the good news is I finally got one. On the other hand… – anyways, this winter was another busy season until – you know. I have 25 projects that float anywhere between postponed to reduced to

Asheville Art Museum – North Carolina Architectural Photography

February 27, 2020

I wasn’t trying to go rogue. Really. Okay – before getting into that, welcome to my first blog entry of 2020! I’ll go into detail about photographing the contemporary addition and renovation of the Asheville Art Museum. Firstly, thank you to the architect, Asheville-based ARCA Design for bringing me on. Deep thanks to the wonderful staff at the AAM for

Caldwell UNC Rivercrest Surgery center

November 9, 2019

Clark Patterson Lee recently finished an ambulatory surgery center for Caldwell UNC’s Rivercrest Medical Park in western North Carolina. The new building (left) steps forward and linearly pairs with the existing medical building (right) in elevation. Solo, the surgery center relies on exterior overhangs, canopies, and generous fenestration to dynamically extend the visual footprint out, while simultaneously allowing views into
