Architecture Photography

Specialized Discipline

Architecture Photography

Publication-grade architecture and interior photography for design firms, developers, and award submissions. Philippe Lasry captures the architect's intent: the spatial logic, material craft, and choreography of light that turns a finished building into a portfolio piece, a magazine feature, and an award-winning project.

Architecture Photography Built for Design Portfolios & Awards

Architecture photography is the cornerstone of our practice. Since 2008, Philippe Lasry has photographed completed projects for architecture firms, interior designers, and developers across South Florida and beyond, from LEED-certified corporate headquarters and boutique hospitality venues to award-winning single-family residences on the Venetian Islands. The work is built for monographs, AIA award submissions, design press, and the firm portfolios that win the next commission.

Our approach combines the technical precision of commercial imaging with the narrative sensibility of editorial storytelling. We don't just document buildings; we reveal the architect's intent, the way mass meets light, the relationship between an interior detail and the larger spatial gesture. That is the difference between a photograph that fills a portfolio slot and one that gets a project published in Architectural Record, Dezeen, or Interior Design.

Every architecture shoot begins with a thorough understanding of the design language, target publications, and submission criteria. We study floor plans, elevation drawings, and material specifications before arriving on site. We track how natural light moves through the space throughout the day, then build a multi-strobe lighting plan and shot list that systematically captures each room (exterior, interior, detail, and twilight) at its absolute best. Aerial perspectives, captured with our FAA Part 107 drone program, give the building its full architectural context where the brief calls for it.

Architecture Photography Specializations

Design Firm & Architect Portfolios
Imagery placed in Architectural Record, Dezeen, Interior Design

Design Firm & Architect Portfolios

Comprehensive coverage of completed buildings for architecture firms, interior designers, and landscape architects. Built around the project's design narrative (from establishing exterior to material details) and delivered in the formats publications and award juries expect.

Commercial & Corporate Interiors
50+ commercial projects completed

Commercial & Corporate Interiors

Office buildings, headquarters, retail environments, medical facilities, educational institutions, and adaptive reuse projects. We capture the design intent and brand experience of commercial space: for design portfolios, lease-up marketing, company websites, and industry awards.

Hospitality & Cultural Architecture
Major hospitality and cultural commissions

Hospitality & Cultural Architecture

Hotels, restaurants, members-only clubs, museums, and cultural institutions photographed as architecture: focused on the building, the rooms, the public realm, and the materiality that defines the project's design point of view.

Construction Progress & Topping-Out
Documenting projects from groundbreaking to ribbon-cutting

Construction Progress & Topping-Out

Systematic progress photography for active construction sites, from groundbreaking through topping out and final completion. Monthly or milestone-based documentation provides architects, owners, lenders, and marketing teams with a professional visual record of the build.

Our Technical Approach to Architecture Photography

The quality difference between professional architecture photography and casual documentation comes down to three factors: lighting, perspective control, and post-production precision.

Multi-Strobe Interior Lighting
01

Multi-Strobe Interior Lighting

We use a combination of studio strobes, hot lights, and ambient light balancing to create images with full tonal range and natural-looking illumination. Each room receives a custom lighting setup, often combining 4-8 individual light sources to build the final exposure.

Perspective Control & Composition
02

Perspective Control & Composition

Architectural photography demands absolute precision in vertical and horizontal alignment. We use professional tilt-shift lenses to correct perspective distortion in-camera, supplemented by software-based geometric correction in post-production.

Post-Production & Color Science
03

Post-Production & Color Science

Our post-production pipeline goes far beyond basic editing. Each image receives RAW file optimization, lens distortion correction, precise white balance calibration, perspective correction, selective exposure blending, and final sharpening for each delivery format.

Architecture Photography FAQ

How do you prepare for an architecture photography shoot?

Preparation begins 1-2 weeks before the shoot date. We review architectural plans, study the property's orientation and sun exposure using solar path analysis tools, coordinate staging and cleaning schedules with the project team, and develop a detailed shot list organized by time of day to capture each space in optimal light.

How long does a typical architecture shoot take?

A standard project (2,000-5,000 sq ft) typically requires a full day (8-10 hours) to photograph comprehensively, including exterior, interior, detail, and twilight shots. Larger or more complex buildings may require 2-3 days.

Do you photograph projects during construction?

Yes. We offer construction progress documentation as an ongoing service, typically monthly or at major milestone points. This provides architects, owners, and their lenders with a professional visual record of the build.

Do you provide aerial perspectives of the building?

Yes. Aerial photography is integrated into our architecture coverage where the brief calls for it: establishing the building in its site, capturing the roof plan, or revealing the relationship between architecture and landscape. All flights are conducted under FAA Part 107 with full insurance.

What equipment do you use for architecture photography?

We shoot with medium-format and full-frame camera systems paired with professional tilt-shift and wide-angle lenses specifically designed for architecture work. Our lighting kit includes battery-powered studio strobes for maximum flexibility on location.

Can you photograph occupied spaces?

Absolutely. We regularly photograph occupied residences, active hotels, and operating businesses. We work efficiently and respectfully, coordinating with occupants and operations teams to minimize disruption.
