As an architectural photographer, I have the habit of only featuring the “pretty” stuff that I think should be in my portfolio of “best work”. Admittedly, by doing this, a lot of my work does not see the light of day. In fact, the SUBJECT of a lot of my work doesn’t see the light…
Last year I had the great pleasure of photographing the artwork of Jacob Hashimoto in the new terminal at BNA. Shortly after, I was commissioned by Magnusson Klemencic Associates (MKA) to visit once again and photograph more of the terminal project in which they provided an important centerpiece. Here is more about the project from…
As I reflect on 2023, it is hard to believe the things I was able to accomplish in such a relatively short period. I am almost hesitant to post these things at the risk of sounding too “braggy”, but I do think it is important for those of you who read this blog to see…
If you had asked me a year ago what I would be doing today, it would NOT be organizing the first-ever architectural photography conference. Fast-forward to today and guess what… yeah – that’s what I find myself doing. Announcing Shifter Summit 2024! I love the architectural photography community. Some of my closest friends and colleagues…
About 6 years ago, I purchased an old Canon AE-1 film camera from the 1970’s. I was feeling in a bit of a creative rut, and also really wanted to understand photography better.

I was excited…
I recently had the opportunity to photograph the newly opened “Four Walls” lounge at The Joseph in Downtown Nashville. This dark lounge had all the vibes and no bad angles. My team and I were able to spend an afternoon working in this space, followed by an amazing dinner on the rooftop restaurant. One of…
I recently had the great fortune of working with Visioneering Studios on two projects. The one I will be sharing in this post is a recent commercial interior design photography shoot in Brentwood, TN (Nashville) at Lifeway’s office corporate HQ. DWC Construction was also a cost-sharing client on this project. Talk about an entry! This…
My most-visited post on my website was titled “How much does architectural photography cost?” and was from several years back. While the information is still relevant, a lot has changed in my business in the last few years, including the addition of video in my offerings. In this post, I wanted to give an update…
I recently photographed the Golden Pony in East Nashville for CDP Architecture. Aside from the incredible renovation that CDP Architecture completed, and the amazing retro / Wes Anderson vibes of the interior design work, one of the things that we really wanted to capture was the amazing light pouring into the space throughout the evening….
