The building deserves better than a phone in the lobby.
Architectural and commercial interior photography — HDR-bracketed, color-managed and licensed for the way a design firm, a builder and a manufacturer all actually use the same images.
What HDR actually means here.
Every interior has a window in it, and a window is four to six stops brighter than the room. A single exposure gives you either a blown-out window or a black room. HDR bracketing captures the range and blends it, so the glass reads as glass and the space reads as it looked when you stood in it.
That is a technique, not a product tier. It is standard on every interior we shoot, and it is the reason ceilings stay white instead of going blue and wood stays the color it was specified in.
Completed buildings
Award submissions, firm portfolios, project pages and press. Shot to the standard a jury and an editor expect, with the verticals actually vertical.
Model homes and communities
One media package — stills, drone and an interactive walkthrough — reused across every plan, every listing and every brochure for the life of the community.
Commercial interiors
Office, retail, hospitality, healthcare and institutional space, photographed for leasing collateral, brand libraries and trade press.
Installed product
Millwork, casework, fixtures, furniture and equipment photographed in a real setting rather than on white. See installed product photography.
One visit, two products.
The camera that measures the building is on site anyway. Booking photography alongside a measured capture means one mobilization, one schedule, one point of contact — and a marketing set and a drawing set that describe the same building on the same day.

Licensing, said plainly.
On a finished building the architect, the general contractor, the interior designer, the product manufacturers and the owner all want the same photographs. Commercial photography is priced as a creative fee plus a license, and each additional party licensing the set pays a share rather than commissioning their own shoot.
It costs each firm less than going alone, and it means one consistent set of images represents the project everywhere it appears. Tell us at scoping who will want them.
Half day $1,200 · full day $2,600 · twilight session +$600 · drone add-on +$450. Each additional licensing party +30% of the creative fee — this applies only to other firms who want their own rights to the images. The client who commissions the shoot pays no licensing uplift. A full day delivers 12–15 finished images.
Is this the same as real estate listing photography?
No, and the difference is licensing rather than camera work. A listing shoot is a flat fee for one agent to market one property once. Commercial architectural work is licensed to multiple firms for portfolio, award, press and campaign use over years, and it is scoped, shot and priced accordingly.
How many images do we get?
Twelve to fifteen finished frames on a full day, eight to ten on a half day. Every one is fully finished and licensed. We do not ship contact sheets — a commercial set is a curated twenty, not an unedited eighty, because the curation is most of the value.
Do you shoot video?
We capture raw, color-managed, edit-ready source files. Most commercial clients already have an editor or agency with a house style to match, so we hand over footage rather than pretending the edit is a side skill. If you need it cut, we quote the edit and place it with a specialist.
Can you photograph an occupied building?
Routinely. We work around operations, after hours when needed, and to whatever access protocol you run. Tell us the constraint at scoping, and it goes in the schedule rather than becoming a surprise.
Who owns the photographs?
You receive finished files licensed for the uses agreed at scoping, with no subscription and no platform fee. Additional parties and expanded uses are priced when you need them, not held over you.
