Shooting Dana:

We’ve had the pleasure of shooting headshots, lifestyle, and editorial images for some of our favorite designers, builders, and architects over the years. This week we’re starting a short feature series with Dana Maynard-Tatge.

We first met Dana during her time at Key Interiors and have photographed dozens of her superb projects since — Her work consistently balances thoughtful material selection, refined detailing, and a clear sense of proportion that photographs beautifully.

Dana is now Senior Interior Designer at DLA Architects, where she continues to push thoughtful, timeless design forward. Looking forward to sharing more of her recent projects and the people behind them in the coming posts. More to come.

Commercial Office Lunch Room:

We loved the spacious, colorful, and clean functional design of this large office lunchroom. Comfortable tables and chairs, along with stool-and-counter areas, make taking a break, holding an informal meeting, or enjoying a coffee a genuinely pleasant experience. Below are some favorites from the shoot.

Office Hall Ways:

We photographed a massive project for Key Interiors — a multistory office complex with multiple conference rooms, expansive lunch and break areas, and the factory floor. Walking the space with interior designer Debby Hill, I kept pausing in the hallways. She smiled and explained she spent a lot of time ensuring the creative theme carried through every corridor and transitional space. “You spend a lot of time in hallways,” she said, “they should be beautiful too.”

Her attention to those connective moments shows. The hallways here aren’t just routes between rooms; they’re curated experiences that prepare and extend the design narrative. Thoughtful lighting, material transitions, scale, and art placement all work together to make passing through feel intentional rather than incidental. That continuity elevated the imagery across the entire shoot — the same design language we captured in boardrooms and workspaces reads unmistakably in the corridors, tying the whole project together.

Commercial Powder Room:

 Just a few quick shots from a recent commercial assignment — the designer asked us to photograph the powder room, an often-overlooked corner that serves as the finishing touch to the project. Here, the same thoughtful design language carries through: materials, lighting, and fittings are carefully chosen to feel polished and intentional.

A well-executed powder room does more than provide a functional amenity. It signals to visitors that attention to detail matters in every part of the workplace. When the restroom is finished in a welcoming, professional manner, it reinforces the overall aesthetic standards and communicates care for the occupant experience.

These images highlight how small spaces can deliver big impact: tactile surfaces, subtle task lighting, and restrained accessories come together to create a cohesive, elevated moment within the commercial environment.

State of The Art Conference Center -

Commercial interior design often includes bespoke furniture, wall coverings, and built-in cabinetry. Case in point: this 26-foot conference table, supported by a single central set of legs. The iron structural support calls to mind an industrial bridge, while the metal tabletop finished with a solid glass overlay combines strength with refined detail. The weight it bears is impressive—this table reads as a work of art at any scale.

That spirit of custom craftsmanship continues throughout the suite: paneled wall coverings, a dimensional metal work wall covering near the break area, and other unique finishes. The conference room also features two large conferencing screens and state-of-the-art security to ensure the privacy of meetings. The result is both functional and striking.

Interior Design:

I love shooting for interior designers. Watching them work—especially when you visit their studios and see collections of fabrics and color samples arranged against a black backdrop—is a quiet education.

They layer swatches, trim, tile and finish samples and view them at different times of day, under varied lighting. That practice reveals how textures and hues shift with natural light, artificial light, and shadow, and whether combinations hold up in a home’s real conditions. The black backdrop removes distractions so each sample reads true and the eye focuses only on color, contrast and materiality.

By the time you photograph the finished room, the payoff is obvious: choices that survived this rigorous process read as intentional, balanced and durable on camera and in life. Can you guess the interior designer who put these together? More to come.

Transitional Great Room:

 Another recent photoshoot with Marietta Calas of Expressive Interiors. Transitional design throughout, every element bespoke from floor to ceiling. The sculpted fireplace with its centered stone inlay anchors the great room, beautifully framed by custom drapery. Soft, muted color tones enhance the room’s cozy scale while layered textures and rich fabrics invite you to settle in with a glass of wine by the fire. Clean lines and thoughtful detailing keep the space elegant yet approachable — a refined balance of comfort and sophistication. More to come from this amazing project!
