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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
