Earlier this year I got the great privilege to photograph the Arizona Capitol building’s dome! The state had just replaced the original copper plating so it was very shiny, like a new penny! For the Centennial festivities on our state’s birthday {February 14th} it was also requested to light the dome and the Nike statue. […]

Recently this property entered the market and Real Estate Agent Lee Fisher contacted me to help him tell the story of this house for prospective buyers. Some of you may recognize this house as a project I photographed last year for interior designer Jeff Johnston. This time around I photographed every nook and angle of this […]

Over the 2011 summer I have worked on several shoots with Interior Designer, Jeff Johnston. This residence had a lot of great things to capture so I decided to give it a post of its own. There was not much natural light coming into the spaces at all (lots of small windows with heavy drapery), […]

These are more designs that I photographed for interior designer Jeff Johnston, based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Many of the furniture pieces are one of a kind designer specifically for the spaces they’re in. Jeff took the time to design all the details so I made sure all those qualities were seen in the photos. Once […]

Here is another interior shoot I did for Jeff Johnston Interiors. This office space was pretty slick, but consisted of a lot of tight narrow spaces, heavy tungsten lighting everywhere, and a lot of reflective surfaces. Thankfully I brought plenty of lights and had some tricks of my sleeves to capture the best shots possible. In […]

Have you ever wondered what kind of space an architect would live in? Well, I’ve seen a few in my day, and I can tell you they’re always different and reflect the styles of design that inspire them most. Local Phoenix architect, Travis Smith, brought me in for a Tour de Force de Photo of […]

I have the honor to be shooting residential and commercial interiors for American interior designer, Jeff Johnston. Typically it’s essential to shoot exterior shots during the best time of day depending on the position of the sun, but my timeframe to shoot was 10am-1pm, so I the sun was already in midday position bringing out […]
