Those who closely follow this blog may recall the fun little downtown Durham building I shot a couple years ago for Sasha Berghausen and Blok Architecture. Below is a dramatization of our conversation, which may or may not be, entirely accurate. (phone rings) “Hello? Hey what’s going on Sasha! Yeah! That building was crazy with all the site lines in
I returned to University of North Carolina, this time to photograph Hill Hall, part of UNC’s Department of Music for mid-Atlantic-based Quinn Evans Architects. You may remember them from the downtown Cary Theater they did in the area a few years ago. Hill Hall was originally built in 1907 as the main campus library. It’s gone through several renovations and
One of my national clients, KBS hired me for a multiple-day shoot of their Offices at Greenhouse property in Houston, Texas. Not too much to describe here, these real-estate shoots are relatively straightforward. These are a couple aerials of the building and its surroundings. On the ground, it was a matter of capturing particular views and angles to best market
I recently returned to my old stomping grounds in Houston, Texas for a couple projects. One is the brand spanking new Marriott Marquis in downtown Houston, near the Minute Maid baseball park, home of MLB’s Houston Astros. Yes, those people are canoeing in what appears to be two-foot deep water. Look – you ever been to Houston? There is nothing
Whew! Well, this is the busiest start of the year I’ve ever had, which now that I think about it I seem to claim every year, which I guess is a good thing to be able to annually claim. Got to work again with Cline Design Associates architects on Anderson Flats apartments located in midtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The lobby
Well this isn’t normal for me, a non-work related blog that has very little to do with architecture. It’s uh…mostly nature. What? Yes. NATURE. Every year I try to get away for my birthday and photograph for fun. These annual attempts have had various degrees of success as the real world often pulls me away and this year was no
I’ve been steadily shooting for architects Cline Design for the past year and had a new slate of work to photograph to start off 2017. One of these projects is the recently relocated Tobacco Road Sports Cafe in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. It’s huge. YUGE. Two levels with a mezzanine story. Past the garage doors you’ll find a one-story dining
Alright, let’s kick off 2017! December through January included working with MJM Group, a commercial real-estate company out of Durham, North Carolina. They are launching a new marketing campaign, including total revamp of collateral and photography, and hired me to photograph a couple projects. One was the new Marriott Residence Inn and Fairfield Inn near the airport in Charlotte, North
I’ve spent a good amount of time this year in North Hills in midtown Raleigh, North Carolina on the behalf of several clients. A few months ago I completed photography of the new Bank of America Tower and this time returned to photograph my favorite building design in Raleigh, ever, the Captrust Building. Now I’ve been on the record for
Back at again with the architects at Integrated Design, this time with an exterior & interior renovation of an old EPA building in Durham, North Carolina. The front facade was redone featuring a more dynamic elevation, increased fenestration, and shading devices. The centerpiece of the new lobby is a wood stair with small green wall. The conference room and break
BHDP hired me to shoot a couple of interior renovations the architecture firm recently completed in Durham, North Carolina. It was less about the space and design and really more about highlighting activity and use within it; essentially creating interior vignettes. The first space was London-based Genband. It was a clean and efficient design featuring simple white walls with multiple
If you’d told me I would travel to Arkansas three times in a four-year time span, I would’ve laughed. Laugh no more, after my initial vacation to this beautiful state, I’ve been back twice now for work. Again, this was on behalf of the Dinerstein Companies in Fayetteville, Arkansas (home of University of Arkansas) for their student housing project, the
