Services designed for architectural documentation
Each offering represents years of refinement in capturing built environments. We've structured these services around the specific needs that emerge when documenting architecture at a professional level.
Exterior Photography
Comprehensive documentation of building exteriors, capturing facade details, contextual relationships, and the interplay between structure and environment. Sessions typically include multiple vantage points, detail shots of material junctions, and wide establishing views that situate the building within its urban or natural context.
Interior Documentation
Detailed interior photography that conveys spatial flow, material choices, and lighting design across residential and commercial environments. We photograph spaces systematically, ensuring every significant room and transitional area receives appropriate coverage. Special attention goes to how natural light moves through interiors throughout the day.
Twilight Sessions
Specialized photography during the blue hour, emphasizing architectural lighting schemes and the dynamic relationship between artificial and natural light. These sessions require precise timing and typically yield the most dramatic imagery of any service we offer. Essential for projects where lighting design forms a core component of the architectural concept.
Aerial Documentation
Drone-based photography providing contextual perspectives, site relationships, and comprehensive views impossible from ground level. Particularly valuable for documenting large-scale developments, campus projects, or buildings where the roof form constitutes a significant design element. All flights comply with CASA commercial drone regulations.
Construction Progress
Systematic documentation of building development stages, creating visual records that track transformation from foundation to completion. Involves scheduled site visits at agreed intervals, maintaining consistent vantage points to enable before-and-after comparisons. Valuable for developer marketing, contractor documentation, and architectural archives.
Portfolio Development
Curated photography collections tailored for architectural firms, combining multiple sessions into cohesive narratives that showcase design excellence. This service goes beyond basic documentation to create imagery specifically optimized for award submissions, monograph publications, and high-profile presentations. Includes extended post-production and strategic art direction.
How pricing reflects project complexity
Rates shown represent baseline costs for standard projects. Several factors can influence final pricing, including site accessibility, travel requirements beyond major metro areas, specialized equipment needs, and expedited turnaround requests.
Most architectural photography projects benefit from combining multiple services. An exterior session paired with twilight photography, for instance, provides comprehensive coverage that individual sessions cannot achieve alone.
Volume pricing becomes available for firms requiring ongoing documentation across multiple projects. We structure these arrangements as retainer agreements that guarantee availability and consistent pricing throughout the year.
All quoted prices include post-production, color correction, perspective adjustment, and delivery of high-resolution files suitable for both print and digital applications. Usage rights are granted in perpetuity for promotional purposes by the commissioning party.
From initial consultation to final delivery
Projects begin with a detailed briefing where we establish objectives, review architectural drawings, discuss intended image usage, and coordinate scheduling around weather conditions and site access.
Shooting days are planned meticulously. For complex projects, we conduct preliminary site visits to assess lighting conditions and identify optimal camera positions before the main photography session.
Deliverables and file management
Final image sets are delivered via secure cloud transfer in multiple resolutions. Standard packages include full-resolution TIFFs for print production, high-quality JPEGs optimized for web use, and thumbnail sets for quick review and selection.
All files follow systematic naming conventions that reference project details, view directions, and capture dates. This organizational approach ensures images remain usable long after initial delivery.
We maintain project archives for three years, enabling clients to request additional deliverables or alternate processing of previously captured images without requiring new photography sessions.
