The musings of a veteran architectural photographer with 30 years behind the camera.

Growing up with a strong interest in the arts and literature, I was always intrigued with image-making. Photography lured me from painting early in my career… I think it was the gadgets⁠—photographers need lots of gadgets. I was mostly self-taught for the first few years until I got a job schlepping gear for some of the most talented architectural photographers in the business. I assisted for three years before getting behind the camera full-time, and have been shooting buildings, interiors, and furniture for the last two decades.

I find this work extremely satisfying in that composing architecture allows me to make more refined and thoughtful images than I think most other subject matters would allow. When people realize what goes into perfecting the photographs, their reaction always reflects the same amazement. I love that.
