Commercial Architectural Photography
Most people see your building online before they ever walk through the door
A finished building has a lot of work left to do: winning the architect’s next commission, helping a university recruit students, reassuring patients before their first appointment, and showing the public what its investment built.
I create commercial architectural photography for architects, developers, and the marketing teams of universities, healthcare systems, municipalities, and cultural institutions.
Based in Florida, I photograph projects throughout the Southeast and nationwide.

What Your Commercial Photography Needs to Do
Win The Next Project
For architects and builders, completed work is your strongest argument in proposals, interviews, and award submissions. The photography has to make that argument for you.
Recruit and Reassure
For universities and healthcare systems, your buildings are part of the decision. Students and patients judge your facilities online before they ever visit.
Show The Public What It Built
For municipalities and civic projects, strong images help communicate the value of public investment to residents, officials, and the press.
Lease, Sell & Attract Tenants
For developers, the photography has to present a property at its best to tenants, buyers, and investors.

How A Commercial Shoot Works
1. Planning
We start with how the images will be used, then build a shot list and schedule around building activity, access, and the best light.
2. Coordination
I work with your facilities, security, and operations teams so the shoot fits around the people who use the building every day.
3. Photography.
I photograph exteriors, interiors, and twilight views while the building keeps running normally.
4. Delivery and licensing.
You receive finished, edited images with usage rights clearly spelled out for everyone who needs them.
Sharing a Shoot
Commercial projects involve many companies that all want great images:
the owner, the architect, the contractor, the engineers, and the product manufacturers.
A shared shoot lets each of them license the same images and split the cost. Ask me about it when you get in touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you photograph a building while it’s open and in use?
Yes. We schedule each space around activity, and I work quietly and efficiently so operations continue normally.
How do you handle privacy in healthcare and other sensitive spaces?
We agree in advance on which spaces will be photographed and when, and patients and the public are never photographed without permission.
Do you photograph people using the spaces?
Yes, when it serves the project. People bring a building to life, and we’ll plan it with your team in advance.
Do you travel?
Yes. I’m based on Florida’s Space Coast and photograph projects throughout Florida, the Southeast, and nationwide.
How much does a commercial shoot cost?
Every project is different, so I quote based on the building, the number of spaces, and how the images will be used. Send me a few details and I’ll give you a clear estimate.
Planning to Photograph a Completed Project?
Send me a quick note with the building, its location, and when it will be ready.
We’ll see whether it’s a good fit and what it would involve.
