Architectural photography.

  While I participate in several genres of photography, my favorite, and first choice is Architectural Photography.

  There is something about the the lines, materials and form that always call my name. I love to take it a step further and add a touch of the human element when I can for comparison to the organic world, and a sense of scale.

  I think my love for Architecture started long before I was involved in photography, but one of the "ah ha!" moments came for me when I was first starting out, assisting a local photographer who was shooting an editorial article on a house in Ft.  Worth, built by the Architectural legend, I. M. Pei. His work was almost entirely commercial buildings, but he did design a couple of residences. Standing in one of them (it is not anything open to the public or easily visited) was an honor. The commercial / industrial influences were very strong in the residential design and it felt very much like a museum, yet still warm and cozy, as a house should be.

  Being able to combine these elements of design was very influential on my eye and tastes when photographing projects. I always want to show form AND function of a space, with scale and human element. Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it is not. I ALWAYS love the challenge, and strive to perfect it.

It's not always the one you'd think it would be.

  In real estate photography there are some givens, and obvious choices. No matter what the property's condition is, or location, a front exterior elevation photo is needed for EVERY listing. This is the curb appeal that every buyer wants to see before they even inquire about a property.

  We also have the kitchen, the master bedroom, a family area, etc.. All the standard rooms that pretty much every house in America has. But as any top agent will tell you - you're also selling a lifestyle when you enter the luxury level market. That lifestyle can be many things, from a full floor media center, a 16 car underground garage for the collector, an indoor half court gym, (all of which I have seen more than once on shoots), or more commonly, the location.

  More often than not, your buyers are looking for properties in locations that suit their lifestyle. Taking a couple of hours to find some shots/angles that sell the lifestyle of the property along with the bricks and shingles that make the home are a guaranteed way to boost your listing's exposure and traffic. That boost equals SOLD. Ask your real estate or architectural photographer about dusk / twilight, as well as community and amenities shots for your next property. You'll be glad you did.
