Looking at buildings, both at home and on foreign travels, has attracted me since my student days. This interest inspired me to move from photographing a wide range of commercial subjects to specializing in architectural photography about twenty years ago. I love my work and approach each new project with enthusiasm. My photographs have helped win design award for numerous architectural firms and have appeared in many professional and consumer publications.
I relish the process of collaborating with a client to determine how best to document a project, keeping in mind the intentions of the architect while I strive to make strong visual images. A skillful architectural photographer should have not only a “good eye” and technical proficiency but also an ongoing awareness of the specific requirements of each project. I feel that the sharing of ideas produces the most successful outcome.
My client’s onsite participation in the stages of refining a photograph is facilitated by viewing images on a laptop tethered to a digital camera. Digital photography allows the completion of a large number of photos in a day without sacrificing the image control once achieved only with large format cameras. Tilt/shift lenses give digital cameras the perspective adjustments characteristic of view camera but without their ponderous operations. My experiences with these lenses has taught me how to use them for maximum coverage without spacial distortion that come with injudicious use of such lenses. After meeting all the practical requirement of a photo shoot, I enjoy finding motifs and details that add additional interest to the representation of a project.
I am always willing to meet with a client ahead of a shoot and make a site visit when possible to be well-prepared to photograph a project in the most efficient and productive manner.
