Architectural Photography | Telluride CO

I'll admit it, my heart was racing for most of this shoot: this recently completed One Architects house in Mountain Village, Colorado was filled with SO many incredible spaces, details, textures and juxtapositions I was constantly being seduced by new moments to appreciate.  Another stunning example of no-stone-unturned design philosophy in action.  Kudos to the incredibly talented team who brought this project to such beautiful completion!

Green Cube | Denver Architectural Photography

Denver's Highlands neighborhood has a fantastically diverse fabric of architectural styles, including many new, contemporary and sustainably built homes, such as UrbanGreen's latest, the LEED approved Green Cube home.

The home has strong architectural forms, a beautiful glass stair, and a wonderful Living Wall feature which purifies the air quality while simultaneously growing herbs and lettuces right around the corner from the kitchen... what could be better?

I was fortunate enough to photograph the project during its brief time as a model home for one of the talented designers, Heidi Mendoza of Re.Dzine.

Perspective.

Shooting architecture is truly fascinating to me. You have an opportunity to tell a story about function, form, detail and spatial flow, and the choices that you make truly do shape how the viewer understands a space. I like to shoot several different vignettes on the same space, and allow my clients to choose which photos speak most powerfully to them.


You can see in the following four photos of the same exact space (a truly beautiful, one architects, inc. designed remodel) how differently they speak to the elements of the space being photographed. Each perspective tells its own story.


We start with an exploration in the juxtaposition of old, textural material vs. a new, steel wall - pure elements with a touch of mystery hinted by the rug around the corner:

This perspective tells of connections and the relationship of adjoining spaces:

Here is a more formal study of lines, forms, materials and architectural perspective:

And finally, one last shot, peering upstairs, still using the reclaimed door to ground you in the space.

It's all about perspective!

Architecture of Jim Hardy

Had a blast shooting this gorgeous contemporary home a few weeks ago in Telluride, Colorado for James Hardy, Architects. Exquisite attention to detail, exposed structure and mining vernacular blended beautifully with the softer, more textural finishes of the interiors, making the job of photographing this home highly satisfying!
