Photography
I’ve been directing our photography efforts since 2014 as we capture projects in Civic, Education & Healthcare with an emphasis on the positive impact these spaces have on the communities they serve. That means we almost always have models present and we’re operating at a very high level whether we’re shooting something ourselves or if we’re hiring outside photographers. That’s a big part of what I do - I bring my expertise to ensure all our images execute at a very high quality.
I have a unique skillset given my 3D background where I’m able to technically assess what the best angles are, what the best time of day is using solar studies on the 3D model and ultimately guide the shot selection ahead of the shoot so we can execute smoothly the day of the production.
Over the years I’d say it’s that blend of creating evocative images of spaces in action, they’re active not solitary and blending that with my technical background allows me to visualize the space ahead of time and execute some exceptional images that are consistent across our outside partners and internal team.
Behind The Scenes
I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with very talented photographers, filmmakers, assistants, grips, production teams & clients over the years to create some remarkable content. There’s a story behind every one of these images, and these images are just the tip of the iceberg.
Architectural Imagery
These are all from relatively large productions - I directed the scouting, the shoot & the post production but in most cases wasn’t the one ultimately credited with the image. Credit is noted on every shot.
Lifestyle Imagery
In order to capture a space in its entirety we combine architectural with lifestyle photos. Most of the time I’m too busy on a shoot to capture these, but the images below are a selection from shoots where I made the time to add an additional layer to the content.
Traffic and Towers of Downtown Los Angeles
A spot I love in LA where you see traffic streaking underneath while flanked by the Ramón C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts on the right and Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angles on the left.
