Ascent Fine Cabinetry:

A favorite from a few years ago. On assignment with interior designer Andy Yates in Michigan, we captured a remarkable home with a large open gathering space. The twin island kitchen stood out prominently, seamlessly connecting to a spacious dining area that flowed effortlessly into the living room. The cabinet work was exceptional, showcasing the craftsmanship of Ascent Fine Cabinetry, which is the highlight in these two images. The design balanced functionality and elegance, making the space both inviting and sophisticated.

Shooting Schmidke Constructions Corporate Office :

On a sunny autumn morning a few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to photograph the exterior of Schmidke Construction’s design center and corporate offices. The gleaming sunlight filtered through the trees, casting beautiful shadows and catchlights across the building’s façade. Out back on the patio, a warm fire was lit—an inviting spot to enjoy a morning coffee while taking in the peaceful wooded surroundings. This space, nestled in its charming setting, truly stood out for its blend of natural beauty and thoughtful design. A few favorites from the shoot are featured below.

Multi-Level Home Library:

I love this vertical shot of a two-story home library. Our goal was to highlight the multi-level oval rail and, of course, the matching oval stained skylight above. The craftsmanship is truly exceptional. To capture this perspective, we used an 11mm Zeiss lens on our Sony A850, with my back against the wall, but it was just enough. Both the client and I are very pleased with how it turned out. The horizontal shot features the cozy lower-level seating area.  The interior design is by Summer Thornton and the hidden State-Of-The-Art technology everywhere in this home is by Barretts Technology Solutions.  Stay tuned for more images from this extraordinary home.

Shooting Patel Brothers:

We received a request to photograph the front facade of a grocery store located on Chicago’s Near North Side. The primary challenge was securing two empty parking spaces directly in front of the store to allow for optimal shooting angles. Additionally, timing the shoot to avoid heavy traffic required careful coordination. Despite these logistical hurdles, the final image turned out exceptionally well, capturing the architecture and storefront with clarity and precision. The client was very pleased with the results, as were we.

Hospitality Photoshoot: Hotel Remodel:

When photographing a hotel remodel, the lobby serves as the critical first impression for guests. Using a wide-angle lens is essential to capture the full scope and grandeur of the space, highlighting the scale and design elements that make the lobby unique. It’s equally important to shoot from multiple angles to showcase different perspectives, details, and the flow of the area. This approach not only conveys the spaciousness but also the architectural and interior design nuances that define the remodel. Below are a few favorite shots that exemplify these principles.
